Dollhouse wallpaper

1.	"Vinyl to Vinyl Border Adhesive” A safe water based adhesive specially formulated to overcome the difficult task of gluing small vinyl borders and wainscot to vinyl wallpaper in the Decorator Packs. Apply a thin coat to border or wainscot with brush or sponge and install with light pressure. Cleanup is with warm soapy water.

2.	Hints, Helps and Suggestions for Deco Packs Measure your room dimensions. The paper measures 11” and most rooms are 10” high, which gives you extra paper to match patterns and designs. Don’t forget to check right side up and upside down. After each side wall is cut to size, mark doors, windows, etc. It’s easier to cut them flat. Remember, measure twice, cut once. It’s better to locate cutouts in the middle of the paper rather than near the edge as this will prevent the paper from pulling away or curling. The wallpaper is prepasted. Dip the paper in a tray of water and allow the glue to activate 5 to 7 minutes.

3.	Install paper and sponge bubbles out with light pressure. Install the wainscot the same way. Wainscot paper measures 3 ½” and can be trimmed to 3” to match patterns and designs. The borders are next and you can switch them around as you please.

4.	What’s Next?, Inc. also makes a special adhesive for the borders called “Vinyl to Vinyl Border Adhesive”. It is specially formulated for gluing the small borders and wainscot to the vinyl wallpaper. It is available from your dealer. We suggest applying the adhesive with a small sponge or brush.

5.	Tips from Dollhouse Miniatures Magazine: Miniature wallpaper is available in solids, prints, and even murals in a variety of colors and scales. Some types of wallpaper even have coordinating fabric and carpets. To make wallpaper resistant to fingerprints and easier to clean, spray the wallpaper with Krylon matte fixative before cutting it to size. The surface for the wallpaper should be perfectly smooth. Fill imperfections with wood filler and sand the surface smooth. If the wall is rough, apply two or three coats of gesso (a primer used by artists), sanding between each coat. Adhere the paper with a spray adhesive or miniature wallpaper mucilage, a creamy paste. After the wallpaper is in place, smooth the surface with a damp sponge or brayer (roller) to remove air bubbles or excess paste.
