Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to effectively set up and install your Paw Print Bulletin Board Borders:
- Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface where the border will be applied (e.g., bulletin board, wall, window frame) is clean, dry, and smooth.
- Measure and Cut: Unroll a border piece and measure the length required for your specific application. Use scissors to carefully cut the border to the desired length. The borders are 36 inches long each.
- Apply Adhesive: The borders are designed for easy application and feature integrated sticky points for convenient attachment. Peel off the protective backing from the sticky points and apply the border to your chosen surface. For additional security or if the sticky points are insufficient for your surface, supplementary adhesive such as tape or staples (not included) may be used.
- Position and Secure: Carefully position the border on your chosen surface. Press firmly along the entire length of the border to ensure it adheres securely. For continuous designs, align subsequent border pieces closely to create a seamless look.

Maintenance and Care
To ensure the longevity and appearance of your bulletin board borders, consider the following maintenance tips:
- Cleaning: If the borders accumulate dust, gently wipe them with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid using wet cloths or harsh cleaning agents, as this may damage the cardstock material or fade the colors.
- Storage: When not in use, store the borders flat or rolled loosely in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight to prevent fading, warping, or creasing. Keep them in their original packaging or a protective container.
- Handling: Handle the borders with care to avoid tearing or bending the cardstock.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bulletin board borders, refer to these common solutions:
- Borders Not Sticking:
- Ensure the surface is clean and free of dust or grease.
- Use a strong, appropriate adhesive for the surface type (e.g., heavy-duty tape for rough surfaces, staples for cork boards).
- Apply pressure evenly across the border during installation.
- Borders Appearing Uneven:
- Before applying, use a ruler or level to mark a straight line on the surface as a guide.
- Carefully align each piece to the guide and to the previous piece.
- Fading Colors:
- Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause colors to fade over time.
- Consider rotating borders or using them in areas with less direct light for extended display.
