Preparation
You have everything you need? Then get started!
Step 1
Measure the surfaces of the bed being covered and make a note of them all.
Step 2
Next, transfer the individual dimensions of the bed elements being covered onto the back of the adhesive foil, leaving a few centimeters of excess as a buffer along all of the edges.
Step 3
Then cut the various pieces of adhesive foil using a ruler and a utility knife.
Step 4
Peel the backing paper from the piece of foil and cover the relevant surface with it. Be sure to apply the adhesive foil accurately, press it down with the flat of your hand and then press it down firmly with the smoothing blade.

Step 5
Cut the adhesive foil diagonally at the corners with the scissors – this is the best way to cover the corners and edges.
