My first time hanging border.....how do you join edges? Do you overlap? Do you cut ahead of time so the patterns match? Thanks so much..looking forward to it

You do overlap but only to double cut. By that I mean...overlap and match the pattern and then cut through both top and bottom papers. Lift off the cut part of the top paper and remove the paper you cut on the underneath paper. Butt the seams together and you won't even know that you started a new piece of paper. Good luck.
