3) Clean the surface. Removing any dirt or oil from the surface is very important. Making a clean surface will allow the wall decals to adhere properly. Leaving dirt or oil behind will cause the wall decals to adhere to them, rather than the wall.

• Be sure the wall is dry before placing the wall decals.

4) Adjust the placement. Double check the wall decals is going to look great in the place you have selected. Removing wall decals is possible, but most will not be reusable. Ensure that you are satisfied with where you are considering placing the wall decals to avoid ruining it.

• Move the levels ends up or down, left or right, until the air bubble is centered.
• Draw a light line on the wall, along the edge of the level, to make your guideline.

6) Place the wall decals. Placing the wall decals requires accuracy and focus. Stick the wall decals as close as you can to the guideline you created for it.

• Remove the covering that protects the adhesive side of the wall decals.
• Line up the wall sticker with your guideline.

• Work from the middle and move outwards.
• Always push air bubbles outwards towards an edge to remove them.
• Aim for as smooth a surface as you can.
