Installing Matting on a Ceiling - Other Crafts

I've taken over a tornado shelter/closet to make a little "lava lounge" off the main tiki bar and it's only 5x8 yet for the life of me I can't get my woven matting on the ceiling (I'm going the short way). I searched for tips which produced "staple gun" and "glue".....which is fine, but I can't get the stuff to FIT. It's not square like wallpaper. If I trim the sides to make it square, it falls apart. I've tried duct tape on the edges, which helps, but there's got to be a better way. Any tips from you experts?? BTW - I'm LOVING seeing the carvings and tikis.....WOW!
