How to hang fabric on walls with starch.

Have a helper stand back from the wall to ensure the pattern remains properly aligned and that they match at the edges. I rolled the painted wall with the liquid starch spread the damp washed fabric on the wall and smoothed it out not heavy cut it a little larger than needed to begin with. After everything is in place i rolled another layer of liquid starch on the fabric which dried to a glazed finish. Hang the fabric hanging the fabric takes patience but it is not difficult.

Then use a utility knife to cut away the excess and enjoy your new wall decor. While the starch is still damp apply the strips of fabric one at a time beginning in one corner and moving across the room. The panels should overlap each other slightly about 1 4 image 2. Use roller to apply starch to wall where next fabric panel will hang image 1.

Then lay your fabric panel unfinished side up on your work surface and roll starch on to the fabric. Standing on a ladder un pin a small section from the top of the leftmost fabric panel on the wall then roll on liquid starch to the exposed section of the wall in a thin layer. Add coats of liquid starch beneath and above the fabric to stick it to the wall. Don t worry if it doesn t stick in all places the next step will seal the deal.

Wash and dry the fabric before you begin and then hang it on the wall using masking tape. Once you have your first panel cut use your sponge roller and roll starch on the area of the wall where the panel will go. Use the book methed by folding both ends of the fabric towards the middle paste side in. Line fabric up at the top with adjacent panel and smooth the fabric down and away from that side.
