Looking for some tips for papering a bay window.

I'll obviously use more paper going round the bay than I will
papering above it on the flat wall.
How do I then make the paper meet up as I am working my way out the
window?

You don't, what you do is put a full length on one side of the bay window
and take it into the bay slightly.
You carry the pattern through the bay and continue through to the other
side, the mismatch is only above the bay and this is only usually a short
piece....depending on the pattern, it's usually possible to overlap two
pieces and slice through them both with a new blade, then remove the
bottom piece and butt join them to hide the 'mismatch'...often it's
invisible

Thanks both for the info.
I roughly marked the wall so I would know where the paper would come out of
the bay.
I couldn't quite understand how I was a good few inches out until I checked
a dry bit of paper against a piece that was already hung.
Looks like the hung paper expands by at least half an inch!!
I'd never have believed that.
