I'm normally pretty good a cutting straight lines with sciccors but
not with wet wallpaper on the wall. I think it's because of the
awkward angle you have to work and you really need 3 hands, 1 for the
sciccors and one each side of the cut so the paper doesn't move as you
cut.

I dry-cut the top of each strip before pasting and so only need to trim the
bottom edge, which my 2 hands seem to manage reasonably well. I found the
crease at the top made by the back of a pair of dressmaking scissors (nick
them from a handy female) can only easily be seen on the paste side, which
you cannot cut with any reliability, and trying to go along the patterned
side seemed to need not just 3 hands, but also to be tackled from above,
left-handed, and I'm not good at hanging from ceilings.

Cutting to fit when dry does mean you can only work one strip at a time.
But I'm in no hurry. My time costs £0/hr.
