I am trying to install a wallpaper border on a concave crown molding around a bedroom. The crown molding is plaster, approximately 8". My problem is installing the border at the corners where the two concave pieces meet. It just doesn't seem to fit right. Any suggestions on how to fit the paper into the corners?:wall:

You will need to splice it with scraps of the border that match the pattern as closely as possible.

This was driving me crazy...keeping me up at night LOL, until I realized that making the first cut with a hole punch in lieu of straight cuts would allow me to kind of turn the border into the angle I needed..it worked! along with the splicing. Thanks for your response.:D
