Your doing very well , and that is coming from someone with 37 years experience, I can only say two things, one is you need a decent craft knife with snap of blades and two try and plan out where each length of paper is going, the job you did there I couldn't say really anything negative about it at all the finished job was pretty good , patterned paper you couldn't hang it on the left hand side of the window like you did it because you would see the splice only because it would have been a pattern . Well done it's not easy
All these condescending comments by the so called ‘professionals’ on here! The lady did fine. Not perfect but fine. She never said it could be done with a patterned paper and it’s all well and good saying it should be lined and radiator removed but there might not be the budget for that!
decorators prefer to use scissors when they can because scalpel blades cost money and soon get blunt so they make less profit. Given you are mostly cutting onto plaster, blunt blade = paper tears whereas peel off and scissor does risk a less precise cut but saves money
they are quicker to use as you don't have to wait for soaking time, but you use a lot more paste as it is a stronger mix. I now find paste the wall preferable if the paper is suitable for it.
I have seen many videos on how to do this. Every one different. I have come to the conclusion there is no right way, just whichever way you prefer to do it, and of course dependant on paper type and pattern.
I would have personally taken the splice closer to the reveal. I.e right above the external corner of the reveal to make it easier. But that's me great job though looks tidy
If that was a patterned paper like (diamonds for example) the pattern would never have matched up! You might be-able to get away with it with this busy pattern but not with a obvious patterned paper! I would have struck a line in the middle of the window and worked off that line to either side and your splices and pattern will match up perfect!
Thank you for your feedback; new ideas are always appreciated 😊 we can match patterned paper around a window using our way, we will try and get a video out soon to show you how we do it.
@@sisterspaintingdecorating9580 I believe you both can match up patterns properly but just not in this particular way! Nothing wrong with your splicing technique or skill you both are amazing! When you make the next vid you'll understand why what you demonstrated just won't work on an obvious pattterned paper, that must remain unbroken and continuous right through! Im just trying to save you some heart ache or you'll learn the hard way with a client's expensive wall covering!
I can’t see how that would work any better. How does it wrap around the reveal if you are papering a window that is 1.2 m? Please put a video up and show us your method.
A lot of condescending comment from the ’professionals’ on here. The lady did fine. She never said she could do that with a patterned paper. Lining would be better and so would removing the radiator but there may not be enough on the budget for that!
I'd of lined that, used tub paste too... So much easier being low water content. Also as mentioned, you couldn't do it like that with a pattern paper. Keep at it though.
At last somebody that knows how to paper round a window.First class job.
Thank you so much xx
Straight forward, To the point. Excellent video. Thanks
That's the professional way how to paper round a window. Great job!
Thank you 😊

Hi 👋 we use double edge razor blade xx
thanks, do you use it flat or at an angle. Also would love to see how you do wallpaper internal corners
We use both, there will be a video about internal wallpaper corners very soon!!
Almost right. Ill be posting videos on how to paper around a window top and bottom soon. Tbh one of the better ones I've watched. Well done

@@guyrosin4753 🤣
I agree Peter Wilkinson great job. It's the best I've seen on UA-cam great content
Brilliant. Not edit to death and great instruction. Thanks.
Great job! Thank you for taking the time and effort to share. Much appreciated 👍
Thank you so much for the lovely comments 😊
Top job and these are always a pain to do when there is a wooden rail above the window.

Very professional finish. Are you going to be making any more videos?
You're done brilliant young lady but you're levels will be out keep it up you're doing well
Absolutely brilliant... thanks for the tips.
Very good informative video thank you 😊 and please do an internal corner video 🙏

Great vid thanks for the help 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Thank you 😊
Wallpapering bedroom now and followered her has I was watching her on UA-cam brilliant really got me thought it
Is it better practice to peel back like that and cut with scissors then rather than a scalpel following a straight edge ?
decorators prefer to use scissors when they can because scalpel blades cost money and soon get blunt so they make less profit.
Given you are mostly cutting onto plaster, blunt blade = paper tears whereas peel off and scissor does risk a less precise cut but saves money
@@wotviewer Run a quick bead of caulk and use a snap off Olfa blade ( the narrow ones) with a trim guide. More efficient , great results.
Awesome job!
Thank you ☺️
If you have a plumber it’s worth having him to take rad off, makes job neater and easier.
Thanks, we will certainly give that a try if we are able to xx
@@sisterspaintingdecorating9580 all the best love your vids
Iv seen ‘paste the wall’ papers now are they easier to work with or no different?
Paste the wall not the way I leart!
they are quicker to use as you don't have to wait for soaking time, but you use a lot more paste as it is a stronger mix.
I now find paste the wall preferable if the paper is suitable for it.
Offlo snap off blades they are great sharp glide through your cuts
It's a tidy job, but that method wouldn't work with a patterned paper
Thank you! We will post a video soon with patterned paper
Very impressed👍
When splicing its important not to lift the blade from the surface
Super job girls.
Thank you!!!
Thank you 😊
This wouldn’t work on a pattern paper

Mint job like fair dos, I was gonna give it a go but il leave yous to it haha
Also make sure the radiators are turned off and cool
I would have personally taken the splice closer to the reveal. I.e right above the external corner of the reveal to make it easier. But that's me great job though looks tidy
Gonna give this ago thank-you very much
Do it with a patterned paper anyone can do that if there's no match
Exactly
Golden rule always keep plunb

Spent so long farting around with it!
What’s with that small blade!
I would have taken that support batton off instead of cutting around it.
Hi Andrew, thanks for your comment. We thought this way would be quicker.
Thank you for watching our video!! 😊
That baton and rad
Will destroy it
Its easy when there is no designs o match
All wrong, total balls up , Decorator 50 years !!!
Nice job but i take nuisance Wood down first put nails were its been paper then stick it back cant be don't with all that cutting
