The application of a large vinyl to a wall can be a little daunting I realize. We did one awhile back in a large fellowship room of a church. It turned out really nice and actually went up rather smoothly.

Measuring and Taping
|
Before starting any vinyl application make sure your surface is clean and free of dust. The second thing is to measure, measure, measure! If you have a laser level you are set! They are a wonderful tool and really help in getting things straight. Measure down from the ceiling if possible and use a water based "Stabilo" pencil to mark your line. The line can be wiped off with a damp cloth when you are finished.
Then tape your design in place.

Cutting your design into sections
|
With a large design it really helps to cut it into smaller sections to make it easier to work with. Tape along the top of the design. Then cut horizontally into smaller sections. Make sure you have all the sections taped in place to the wall on either the top or bottom as shown in the next photo.
So now you can start to work with your smaller sections as you would with any vinyl application. But as you can see, not having to deal with the whole design at one time really makes it go much easier and faster in the end.
