If
you're painting the room, do it a week in advance, so the
paint will be completely dry and the border will adhere.
If you aren't painting, just make sure the walls are clean
and smooth. Mark a guideline around the perimeter. 
Roll the
border so it's paste side out. You'll want to make sure
that it isn't a tight roll so you can get all of the paste
wet. 
Put
the roll into a tray of water for 15 to 30 seconds. You'll
want to make sure that your tray is deep enough to cover
the entire roll. 
Remove
the border from the tray and slowly fold it paste sides
together into a book or accordion. When it is all folded,
let it sit for a minute or two. 
Start
in an inconspicuous spot like behind the door. Just smooth
the border onto the wall with a damp sponge. Make sure you
get rid of bubbles as you go. 
When a
section is up, all you have left to do is clean it with a
fresh sponge to get rid of any paste residue.
