    Test a spot

    Stick a strip somewhere hidden, like behind your door. Wait a day and peel it to check the paint.

  2. Step 2: Lay out the gallery

    Lay out the gallery

    Arrange your prints on the floor in a loose grid. Snap a photo so you remember it.

    Line the next print up with a ruler. Repeat until the grid is done.

  5. Step 5: Trim the corners

    Snip the tape ends at an angle. It looks finished and peels off cleaner later.

Edie's tip

Fold a tiny tab at one tape end. Future you will thank you when it's time to peel.
