Did you wet the back of the border? I just finished putting one up in our baby room and it does say it's self adhesive, but I had to wet the back and then put it on. The adhesive is activated when it's wet.

Hope that helps!

We had one and I took it off to reposition it and it would no longer stick. I got a small bucket of removable wallpaper paste. It is the kind that you can just hold a warm damp sponge over and it comes off. Use that one and then you can easily change his room decor as he gets bigger.

I stapled mine up in my bathroom because it kept curling up. I know it sounds funny but it has worked great! You can't see it either unless you look closely.

Before you install border or wallpaper you need to prepare the wall. You should clean it with a product called "wall size". This removes any grease and dirt. Then you need to wet the border and fold it in on itself for a few minutes(glue side to glue side) to activate the glue. If this does not work, try wall paper paste on the back of the border. I bet if you google how to install wall paper you can find some instructions with photo's.

Best of luck.

I always use additional wall paper paste. Even though the border is prepasted, it is never enough. Just go to Lowe's or Home Depot and you can get a small tube/tub for around $5.00. You can also ask the associates there how to use it and they usually have free pamphlets there with instructions as well.

maybe double stick tape?
The "Scotch tape" brand.
It is even photo-safe and removable.
I know my daughter's Teacher uses that for sticking things on the wall in class and for their craft projects.

Or, try spray adhesive. ie: spray glue. It comes in an aerosol can. Good for crafts as well.

Make sure the wall is clean and free from cleaning spray or any dust etc. Otherwise, nothing will stick well to it.

All the best,
Susan
