Abstract
A decorating system enables decorative articles to be hung from high places with safety. The decorating system comprises a dual hook and an adapter. The dual hook has a ring, a first hook, and a second hook. The decorative article is held by the second hook. The adapter is attached to the end of a pole. The adapter has a finger that is insertable into the dual hook ring. A person manipulates the pole to locate the dual hook first hook over a selected support member. The dual hook is lowered slightly to rest the first hook thereof on the support member. Then the adapter finger is removed from the dual hook ring. To take down the decorative article, the adapter finger is reinserted into the dual hook ring, and the pole is manipulated to lift the dual hook off the support member and return the dual hook and decorative article to the ground.
