Repairing the wallpaper bubble


otterine

The Heritage bedroom paper had buckled in a few places on the long wall. After posting a question here on the forum for suggestions, I received two great ideas.

Judith (Ravenswing) suggested using a glue syringe. I cut a small slit in the paper, lifted the edge and injected Aleene's Quick Dry glue under the paper. Using a plastic giftcard, I smushed (technical term there) the glue around inside the upper portion of the bubble. I then repeated the process for the lower portion.

I used the back of my fingernail and rubbed the surface in circles to even out the texture. It's not perfect by any means, but it looks so much better than it did. There was one spot where there was something under the paper, so it marred the front just a little. The tall lamp covers that without a problem. The seam will be behind the oval frame and hidden. I just need something for the frame...I'm thinking a 1920s wedding photo. :D
