I wish there were marks on the back for measuring and cutting. I ended up using the tiny grid on the front that is part of the printed design. I am a very competent artist and crafter with steady hands and a good eye, and it was still a bit of a challenge for me to match up the design and get it lined up well when applying to the wall. But the nice thick vinyl material was SUPER easy to use. It peeled off and was able to be repositioned when I made mistakes, and it looks great now that it's up! I'm putting together a themed bedroom for my boys, and it's a beautiful addition! It was easy to apply around light switches, and cuts like butter with a good pair of scissors. It even feels really nice when you run your hand over the wall once it's applied. I like it a lot, and this cute Star Wars pattern can't be beat!
