- If you
are going to hang ceiling paper, do the ceilings first, then the walls.
Work across the width of the ceiling rather than the length, since shorter
strips are easier to handle. Measure ½" less than the width
of the wallcovering from the corner of the room and insert a thumbtack.
Do the same along the other wall. Use these tacks to hold your plumb
line and snap a chalk line. Cut strips 4" longer than the length
of the ceiling, paste, fold and book the paper. Use a broom or mop to
hold the wallcovering in place along the plumb line while a partner
smoothes it into place. Work with only half the sheet un-booked at a
time.
