Directions

- Apply a base coat of lightest paint color to screen and frame; let dry.
- Paint interior of panels with the medium shade of paint; let dry.
- To determine size of wallpaper insets, measure interior panels and substrate 4 to 5 inches from length and width to allow for borders all around. Using a straightedge and pencil, mark these dimensions on the wallpaper, using paperweights to hold paper down as you measure and mark. Cut out wall paper insets.
- Using a foam brush apply adhesive to back of each wallpaper panel and center on each panel of screen, smoothing out any wrinkles.
