Just follow the directions on the border, it should stick. If not wait until it is dry and where you have a spot that is not sticking use a glue stick and that will hold it. Another tip is to make sure you don't move the paper around to much, make sure you put it where you want it, and have a wet rag to smooth out the bubbles and wrinkles.

most border is prepasted and tells you to run it through water........STOP...do not do that if you want it to actually stick.......go by a hardware or some other type of store and buy you some wallpaper paste and take a paint brush and mix the paste with water then apply it to the back of the border........if you really want it to stick buy some "vinyl over vinyl"border adhesive then you will have absolutly no worries..........................

If it is semi-gloss paint, I would rough it up a little with sandpaper b4 trying to hang the wallpaper. Then just use regular wallpaper paste

Nope, it,ll work i would use a prepasted though it,s a little easier to work with. If you need glue though you can make it out of flour and water mix it to a paste, works good as any glued kind. Wipes off easy and smells better too!

We did that and just used prepasted paper border. We did size the wall before we installed the border.
