How to Use Scene Setters
When decorating for an event, you might find that the walls lack a certain personality or style for the upcoming festivities. A scene setter can mask those dull walls and add another layer of attitude and entertainment. A scene setter is a roll of temporary wallpaper that displays patterns and themes. Often, different scene setters can be coupled to create an overall effect, such as a sandy beach one combined with a palm tree one. Putting a scene setter to full use requires attaching it to your wall. Does this Spark an idea?

Place four 1inch pieces of tape on the back of the scene setter on the left-hand side. Place one piece at the topmost and bottom corners, and the other two spaced equally between the two corners. If you are using coupled scene setters, place the tape on the lower half.
