You can not worry about the uniform application of paint on the wallpaper. Mesh burlap should be translucent. The result will be visible the next day when the paint dries. Then it will be possible to draw patterns with a brush of a smaller size.
Wallpaper should not be overlapped. At the joints between the canvases, wooden planks are usually mounted, which are then covered with a light varnish. Stainless nails without caps can be used as a connecting element. In the case of a concrete wall, "liquid nails" can be used. In the joints under the ceiling, you can glue a baguette or a regular rope. The wallpaper can also be decorated with a woven braid made from the fabric of the same burlap.
