Two Ways to Repair Wall Paper.
Have a set of children’s paints, selecting those that have creams, browns, yellows, and perhaps green, blue, and red. Mix the colors until you get the shade of the foundation color of the paper, then lightly touch up the broken places. If the breaks be small this will be all that is necessary; but if large, it will be well when the first color is dry to touch up the place with the other colors. This is a much easier and more satisfactory method than patching the paper. If, however, the broken place be too large to be repaired with the paint, match the paper if you can and stick it on with flour paste. Never use mucilage, as it discolors the paper.
