But on the wall, covered with wallpaper, there will necessarily remain a "scar" from unsuccessful creativity.

Often the question arises: how to properly determine the theme and choice of decor. The most important here is personal taste and style, in which the room is decorated.

How to properly glue

Before decorating the walls, it is advisable to request a test version of the decor. If the experiment succeeded, boldly proceed to the transformation of the interior in the room. The film for the decor consists of a substrate, the label itself and the mounting film. The technology of gluing in many respects depends on the dimensions of the canvas. To properly place a multi-component sticker on the wall, patience and attention will be required. To begin with, make sure that the surface under the decor was dry and clean. It is desirable to mark it in order to properly arrange the decor elements.

A small sticker

Mounting a small sticker on a wall or furniture is very easy. The algorithm of actions is:

• Smooth out the surface of the protective film with your hand or plastic card. This is necessary to ensure that the picture and the mounting film fit snugly together;
• Put the sticker on a clean flat surface, gently remove the backing. The movements should be slow, parallel to the surface on which the image is located. With this approach, the sticker will not separate from the mounting film;
• Take the sticker with both hands. Fix it to the wall according to the prepared layout. The mounting film is directed towards you with a "face";
• Pressing the sticker against the wall, gently smooth out her palms and (or) the same plastic card;
• Remove the mounting film. The process is similar to removing the substrate (from one angle, the motion is directed parallel to the surface). Do not rush to avoid sticking the parts of the drawing to the film itself.

Pay attention to the edges of the picture fit as tightly as possible. Otherwise, the picture on the wall will look sloppy and the effect of sticking will not be the same as expected.

After the work is completely finished, press all the elements of the sticker once again with a clean textile or a lint-free towel. On request, you can decorate the picture with rhinestones. Large size sticker

The technology of mounting large-sized decor has its own nuances. If you approach the case as with stickers of small size, the canvas is almost impossible to paste accurately and neatly. It will crack or, on the contrary, stick where it is not necessary. In the end, the decor will be completely ruined. The specificity is that the substrate is not removed immediately, but gradually, on the wall, during the gluing process. The procedure is as follows:

• Remove the sticker from the package or tube and place in a prepared place;
• Using the scotch tape, place the painting on the wall according to the pre-made markings;
• Selecting one corner (preferably - the top one), separate all 3 layers; Gently roll the substrate inside so that all parts of the pattern are glued to the mounting film;
• Start gradually sticking the sticker, not forgetting the smoothing. Repeat the whole algorithm from the very beginning, until you have glued all the elements without residue, removing the substrate completely;
• After making sure that all the elements are securely glued, remove the mounting film. As in the case of a small sticker, press all the elements with a piece of clean textiles.

Before you start, make sure that you have enough time. Do breaks in work is unacceptable.

Sometimes it turns out that the fragments of the picture can be fixed arbitrarily. In this case, it is advisable to cut the canvas into separate fragments and work with them, as with small stickers. So much more convenient. To make the picture stick as smoothly as possible, you can use a hairdryer set at the minimum temperature. Time to do this work will take much more, but the result will be better.
