Assess the type of paper
To remove paper from wood, you need to first identify the type of paper that is glued to the wood. If it is construction paper, it will be easier to remove. If it is tissue paper, it will be more difficult.
If it is loose, gently scrape it off with a putty knife
If the paper is peeling off in small pieces or appears to be very loose, you may be able to gently scrape it off with a putty knife. If the paper tears or if it does not come off easily, it is probably not ready to be removed. If the wallpaper is in good shape, you may be able to remove it and reuse it.
If it is stuck on, use a heat gun
If the wall paper is stuck on, you may be able to remove it with a heat gun. This will take some time and perseverance. You will need to hold the heat gun about six inches away from the wall and keep it moving to avoid damaging the drywall. Once the wallpaper is loosened, you can start peeling it away. If the adhesive is still strong, you can apply fabric softener to help loosen it.
How to remove the paper
The paper is very easy to remove from wood. You can use a putty knife or a razor blade to remove the paper. You can also use a sander to remove the paper. If you use a sander, you will need to sand the paper off.
Use a heat gun
If you’re looking to remove paper from wood, one of the best ways to do it is with a heat gun. This method will take some time and patience, but it’s fairly straightforward.
First, set your heat gun to a low setting and hold it about 6 inches away from the paper. Slowly move the gun back and forth across the paper until you see the edges begin to curl up. Once the edges are curled, you can use a putty knife or other sharp object to scrape the paper off of the wood.
If you’re having trouble getting all of the paper off with the heat gun, you can try using a steamer. Set your steamer to a low setting and hold it about 6 inches away from the paper. Move it slowly back and forth until the edges of the paper start to curl up. Once they’re curled, you can scrape the paper off with a putty knife or other sharp object.
Use a chemical stripper

Use a heat gun
If you’re trying to remove paper from wood that has a varnish or paint finish, you can use a heat gun to loosen the adhesive.

You may need to go over it several times. Once the adhesive is softened, you should be able to peel the paper off easily. If there is any residue left behind, you can remove it with a putty knife or by sanding it off.
Use a chemical stripper
If you are trying to remove paper from wood that has been painted or varnished, you will need to use a chemical stripper. You can purchase a stripper at your local hardware store.
