Get Your Sticker Up Higher

Tired of putting stickers only as high as you can reach? Then make this simple device for under $20 that lets you put stickers up over 10 feet high on a wall. When you're done it collapses down and can be stored away.

Step 1 Get your gear

The main tools you need can be found at a hardware store.

Here's the full list:
- 2' to 4' extendable pole. ~$8
- paint edger ~$4
- Two paperclips or a section of bendable wire
- Stickers you want to put up high

Original idea by Flower Guy.

+1 Great post, and great way to apply a sticker with out getting your hands dirty. A few things that are worth mentioning are that high places are usually very dusty, so use extra polyurethane or adhesive spray in addition to adhesive sticker backing. The shureline edger fits the postal sticker size perfectly, and postal stickers can be easily acquired in mass quantities for free (although they are not as good as vinyl). With rectilinear stickers the paper clips can get trapped beneath the sticker when pressed against a surface, this creates a air pocket or crease that can eventual peal the sticker away. Heres two photo of my remedy for this.

There is a reason that they are a writer's favorite. The new one's have more writing space too.

I've used the Priority Mail Address Label, here's the link. There's a way people get a roll that can be fed into a certain type of printer. Also check out there free flat rate boxes for mailing ebay stuff.

Nice modification. I haven't used this for stickers that big, but it does look like it helps.

Very intuitive! This is definitely a weekend project for me. Maybe I can get the stickers onto the chair lift poles with this.
