Abstract
Abstract A method of applying border paper to the ceiling line of walls using a border paper guide having a circular panel at the bottom side of which is mounted an extension pole, and at the upper side of which is mounted a cylindrical housing. The housing of the border guide is leaned against the wall at the desired height by resting the extension pole against the floor. After ascending a ladder, border is payed out from the housing by holding the part of the border extending through the slot in one hand, and then placing the pole about arms-length away with the other hand. With the housing suspending the border paper, both hands are free to apply the borders.
