How To Easily Make Holes In Dark Papered Walls

White stickers are insanely helpful for you

Decorating. You either love it or hate it.

When it comes to drilling holes in walls for a television mount, where the wall is decorated in dark colored wallpaper it becomes a frustrating challenge in knowing where to place those pen marks doesn’t it?

But it needn’t be.

Here’s a handy trick for you to know about.

Do you have any white stickers in a drawer somewhere to hand?

Good.

Tear off a strip of that white sticker and stick it onto where you roughly want to drill your hole in the wall, then hold up the mount you are going to screw into that wall, and (using a marker pen) mark on that white sticker the precise point to where you are going to drill.

When you move the mount away, that white sticker that you stuck onto the wall, will now an easy to see mark that you just made there, so you can drill that hole for the wall pug with confidence.

Because sometimes a highlighter pen simply isn’t going to be enough.
