In this video, I demonstrate The very delicate process of installing peel and stick wallpaper.

Peel and stick and stick wallpaper was originally never made to be a wallpaper. It was made for stickers and decals. Over time it became popular for people living in apartments, condos or temporary living situations because they could easily install and remove it. Unfortunately, speaking as an installer, peel and stick wallpaper (aka selfstick, temporary or self-adhesive wallpaper) is not as easy to install as advertised. In fact, because it's sticky on the back it presents its own sets of challenges that regular wallpaper doesn't have (mainly that you can slide the wallpaper into position).

Tips

1. Prepare walls. They must be smooth.
2. Do not put it on textured walls, especially ones with orange peel.
3. Do not take entire back plastic wrapping off (do it in stages)
4. Get help and do not try to hang it alone. You need 2 people ideally.
5. Use dry eraser instead of a typical smoother for MOST of the smoothing process so you don't damage wallpaper. This is very thin material.
5. Have residential home hair blower (not a heat gun) for air bubbles at the end should they happen.
