How to Applying Fabric to a Wall

Decorating kit
  • Measuring tape
  • Fabric scissors
  • Nonaerosol  spray starch 
  • Fabric
  • Pushpins
  • Clean, dry paint roller
  1. Wash the wall to remove any dirt or film.
  2.  Take the measurement of the area that you intend to cover.
  3. Cut the fabric to size, allowing an extra 2 in, for trimming the top and bottom.
  4. Spray the  top half of the wall with a nonaerosol liquid starch.
  5. Place the fabric over the starched area, and temporarily secure it at the top with pushpins.
  6. Go over the fabric surface with a clean, dry paint roller smoothing out any creases.
  7. Spray the remaining half of the wall with the starch, and apply the fabric in the same way until the wall covered.
  8. Inspect the surface. If there are any remaining wrinkles, spray them lightly with the starch and work them out with the roller.
  9. Trim excess fabric, and remove the pushpins.
To Remove Fabric From Wall: 

Peel one corner loose, then gently begin to peel the fabric off of the wall panel by panel. If the fabric does not peel easily, dampen the fabric with water using a wet sponge and it should come right off.
