I do the same thing with wall paper as I do with carpets and tile for
floors. I make a pattern using palne paper. I rarely cut the pattern,
but I fold the edges. it is pretty easy to make a small crease using a
fingernail (or a scribe if I've been chewing on them). then I remove
the pattern and make a complete fold for one wall (or cieling, or
floor). stick it back in to check for any adjustments, and make a
crease for the next complete fold. the end result is an exact pattern
that I can use on the final paper. sometime I have a little trimming to
do, but often none at all.


I make a pattern by sticking in place the largest single sheet
possible with a minimum of "stick" (few holes with tape sticking to
the wall through them), then tape smaller pieces to the main piece to
define all edges. Once the surface is fully defined, and all the small
pieces are securely taped to each other, the whole shape can be
extracted and used as a pattern to cut the finish material. Just be
careful to apply the pattern to the finish goods right side up (ask me
how I know!)
