Abstract
A process of making a paint roller with a foldable end comprising the steps of: securing a paint-roller support core to a paint-roller pad and then removing a portion of the core secured to the paint-roller pad. If multiple paint rollers are being made, one cuts the paint-roller pad and support core into multiple segments with the cut ends of the segmented paint-roller pad and core coextensive with each other. Next, one removes a portion of the ends of the support core without removing the paint-roller pad extending over the support core to leave a paint roller with an unsupported free pad end that is folded over the end of the core of the paint roller to provide full corner painting abilities. The paint roller with a covered end can be rotatably mounted on different types of paint-roller frames.
