I have some wall paper that is starting to curl.

The wall paper has begun to curl along the edges. Also, there is a crack in the plaster at the corner of a door that has ripped the wall paper. How do I repair wall paper without taking it all down?

    Hi Mesdvm, Here is a how to video that may help with the curl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qyTDfCW-Po4


    As far as your rip, if the rip is able to be flattened out and still meets in the middle, you can also use the seam seal. Ideally, it would be better to fix the plaster and re paper that area to prevent future rips.


    Good luck

    take thin pieces of wood on the seams --either paint them or stain--mine were in the kitchen I stained the strips to match my cabinets --love it

    Better get the crack over the door looked at before bothering to fix wallpaper, as you may have a problem with settlement?
