Attach the woodchip wallpaper correctly

Before you begin, you should determine the height and length of the walls measure in order to have enough material ready. Also stir the paste so that it can flow through while you cut the individual strips. When cutting the woodchip, it is better if you always cut the lengths a little longer so that they overlap a little on the wall above and below. This can later be cut to size with the scissors.
