Step 5Draw On The (paper on the) Walls
The general process is to make one swirl at a time, overlapping them to get a smooth connection, and then patch up the gaps in between at the end. Overlaps with this stuff are invisible once you are more than 6" away from the surface.
So, to make the first swirl, tape up a piece of newsprint in the target location. Crease the paper into the join between the walls to have the paper on two surfaces, so help you draw across the dimensions. Using the pencil, I sketched the swirl as i wanted it to appear in the area. . I also drew a line along the crease in th ewall (if it is on a crease) to help me line up the contact paper with the corner later.
Pull the paper down, and clean up your swirl. It's probably kinda chunky and weird from you drawing on the wall (you are standing on a safe step stool or ladder, if it's too high to reach, right?), so go over your lines or adjust them to smooth them out.
