Cup O tea me thinks...Hah! yes where's the drawing pins.

Pin the middle and the end of one side till you have managed to flatten and
smooth other side then pin it,then do other side.


I've found a dry paint roller on a telescopic handle useful for ceiling
papering, can be used to quickly flatten the paper against the ceiling, and
wedged between the ceiling/wall corner and stepladder to keep one end in
place while working at the other end.
