How To Install Removable Wallpaper

by John J. Mcknight April 10, 2023

Removable wallpaper is a great way to add a pop of color or pattern to your home without the commitment of traditional wallpaper. It’s also an easy way to temporary change the look of a room without the hassle of painting. Plus, it’s a great way to personalize your space without breaking the bank. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to install your own removable wallpaper.

There are a variety of different resources available to help you learn about design, art, decorations and finding deals. To help you out, make sure to access Hirefellas to browse the resources.

What you‘ll need:

-Removable wallpaper (we used this one)

-Scissors

-A straight edge

-A pencil

-A level

-A damp sponge

-A smoothing tool (optional)

Instructions:

Start by measuring the wall you’ll be covering. Our wallpaper came in 2’x6.5’Â² panels, so we knew we needed two panels to cover our wall.

Once you know how many panels you need, cut your wallpaper to size. It’s important to use a straight edge and a sharp knife or scissors to get a clean cut.

Next, use a level and a pencil to mark a horizontal line on your wall. This will be your starting point and will help ensure your wallpaper is hung straight.

Begin applying your wallpaper to the wall, aligning it with your horizontal line. If your wallpaper has a grid backing, use that as a guide to help keep things straight.

Once you have the first panel in place, use a damp sponge to smooth out any bubbles or wrinkles. Then, apply pressure to the seams where the panels meet to seal them together.

Repeat steps 4-5 until your entire wall is covered.

Once your wall is complete, use a smoothing tool to go over the entire surface and make sure everything is flat. And that’s it! You’ve now successfully installed your own removable wallpaper.

3 Easy And Cute Updos For A Special Occasion

by John J. Mcknight February 22, 2023

When you have a special occasion coming up, you want to look your best. But sometimes, you just don’t have the time or the energy to go to a salon and get your hair done. Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered. Here are three easy and cute updos that you can do at home.

The first updo is a classic: the top knot. It’s easy to do and it looks great. Just gather your hair into a high ponytail and secure it with a elastic. Then, twist your hair around itself until it forms a bun. Secure the bun with bobby pins and you’re done!

The second updo is a bit more complicated, but it’s worth it. It’s called the milkmaid braid and it’s a really pretty and romantic style. Start by braiding your hair into two loose braids. Then, wrap the braids around your head and secure them with bobby pins.

The last updo is perfect for long hair. It’s called the waterfall braid and it looks complicated, but it’s actually quite easy to do. Just create a French braid, but let some strands of hair fall out as you go. When you reach the end of your hair, let the rest of the hair fall down your back in loose waves.

So there you have it: three easy and cute updos that you can do at home. Now you’re ready for your special occasion!

The Messy Updo

This updo is perfect for those with shoulder-length or longer hair. First, start by loosely gathering your hair at the nape of your neck. Secure with a elastic band. Next, take small sections of hair and wrap around the elastic, securing with bobby pins as you go. Continue until all of your hair is secure, then mist with hairspray to finish.

The Sleek Updo

This updo is perfect for those with shorter hair. Start by applying a smoothing serum to your hair. Next, gather your hair into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck and secure with an elastic band. Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the elastic, securing with a bobby pin. Repeat until all of your hair is secure, then mist with hairspray.

The Braided Updo

This updo is perfect for those with medium-length hair. Start by creating a Dutch braid along one side of your head, starting at the temple and working your way back. Secure the end of the braid with an elastic band. Next, take the remaining hair and gather it into a low ponytail at the nape of your neck. Secure with an elastic band. Take a small section of hair and wrap it around the elastic, securing with a bobby pin. Repeat until all of your hair is secure, then mist with hairspray.
