okay we've now got our first two pieces on the chimney breasts and now it's time
for this small piece here with these tricky cuts around here I did size the
walls today before I'm going but just to aid the slip again because it'll be
quite difficult here we're dealing with a thick piece of paper and we've only
got a small strip to do, we're gonna try and do it all in one piece okay so
I'm just putting a thin coat of paste on and that just a the slip just a
little bit a little trick for you as well. We're going to put the face of
the paper on first and then we're going to take it around the corners okay so
just put a little measurement so we need at least 36
centimeters to take it around that corner so we're gonna make a mark on
around 30/38 there and make sure that sort of sits on that corner okay you'll
see I'm doing them a second so there's my 38 so as long as I've got that on the
edge that'll give me enough to take it around this corner again so I can trim
it to that internal corner there
so take your time of this. It's a little bit tricky looks a bit messy
initially okay but soon as you get it on you'll be fine
okay so I'm just going to put the face of the paper on first so that's going to
give me plenty then to take around there
Just unravel it.
okay notice I'm not doing anything yet I'm just trying to get it on this
straight line just be careful as you pull it apart
okay once I've got it on then I can start working with it
I'm just going to tuck it in again if you've got marble fireplace, might be
worthwhile protecting it
That's mostly on the line, few little paste marks so we can just easily wipe those off
They'll disappear, right now we need to do our cuts okay so I'm gonna find out- let's
make it just a crease where this edge of the fireplace is and I'll just do this
I'll do this corner and then you can see it I'll do that one afterwards okay so
I'm finding the very very edge of this fireplace here I'll just mark it with a
pencil so you can see it
you see that crease there where the fireplace joins the wall. So keep it nice
and tight I'm just gonna make a mark and again I'm going to take my Stanley
knife I'm just going to make a small nic in it I'm gonna make a small nic
in it around about there and pull it around this way okay because we've got
to put put some wallpaper into there okay if I was to cut it down there then
you're going to get a gap in there you don't want. That so it's gonna get my
Stanley knife gently with this because obviously it's the fireplace it's gonna dig into
the timber so we'll just pull it across nice and gently just going through into
the paper not into the timber there's a small incision I'm gonna get my scissors
okay nice and gently, keep your finger on this point here otherwise it'll tear and just feed it round
nice and gently
I'll come back to that in a second, right nice and straight that edge so I'm
looking along here now and if I hadn't had the papers twisted it would be
coming down so it's gonna push it back up so it's nice and straight. Now
I've got it into position I can start on my cuts so again we can now start
looking at things at 45 degrees so I'll make it mark on the pencil just so you
can see what I'm talking about. We always come to the come to the next
point okay so the next point is this point in there okay so I'm gonna cut a
45 degree angle up that way with my knife
well that will then take it into this little arch that we've got here okay but
before I do the arch I've got another point there so if I was to do it with a
pencil so you can sort of see it this one comes down and around another edge
so I've cut this one which is there and now I'm going to cut this one
and now this one
I was gonna feed it into this corner here now before I cut this section
there. Ill draw it with my pencil so you can see it
I'm gonna cut this angle you come away find out where your finger you make a
little crease nice sharp blade
taking it into the corner again okay we'll leave that one for a second and
then it shapes around here it's quite tricky this okay it's not straight I
draw it for you it starts going around so I'm not gonna take it from where that
bulges there, little nic, finish it with my scissors it looks a bit scruffy because
I've been drawing on it
so there and I've got another little angle here
A little bit more
into that corner. Again now this bit stopping me from pushing that into that
corner, if I were to push it you create a little hole so we've got a little round circle
again I'll draw it for you so you can see it what comes around like this so I
go to the top of it, a little nic, and then underneath it. Scissors again
just gonna feed it in now. There should be 1 other point
and then I've nearly got it so it's worthwhile if you're doing one of these
at home if you're putting a finished paper on it
just get a cheap roll of lining paper and just have a practice at doing it
and then just on the top of there push it into that corner
and do a splice on this corner afterwards
see how it's overlapped on this one
steady and get your caulking board- put my glasses on for this one
fingers out the way. Nice sharp blade and virtually now you just sort of like
leavering your Stanley knife into it and then just flick it off nice little, put
your finger in and that shows where this angle is and you
just have to go gently around with your knife make sure it's nice and sharp
and when that dries up it'll be fine
I'm just going to take this weight off here so it doesn't tear. I find it
again where that corner is- just there
nice sharp blade
just go trim this section off. Then obviously get your sponge and clean
everything up and then I'm gonna clean all this down again I'm going to trim
this around here I'm gonna do the splice like it did on this side here and then I'm
just going to do exactly the same on this other piece clean it all down
and it'll be perfect
