The
sheet of perspex was around the correct size and sturdier than the
cardboard my late father had used. I am therefore hoping that it
will retain all further fallings of soot and debris for a longer
period before they begin to seep into the room and need further
attention.
I
managed to sellotape it into position quite painlessly. I was then
able to consider applying the sticky backed plastic contact sheet to
secure it firmly. It was a bit crinkled, and not perfect - but it was
only cheap stuff.
Next,
my task continued by overcovering the crinkly stuff with the final
layer - hopefully - metallic burgundy Xmas wrapping paper. I had seen
the color matched the curtains that my friend kindly washed for me so
grabbed the sheet ready...
It
was a little messy but I had more wrapping paper and more sellotape -
and a little more time... so I applied another layer.
That
seemed to do the trick and is probably as neat as I can manage
without professional tools and using cheap materials! Good enough....
So
I began to experiment with the decor.
