Rent mini scaffolding, which is just right for stairs. If there will be many uses, it may be worth considering a purchase. The scaffolding is a platform that has two braces attached and two end frames.

Connect a platform to the end frame at the base of the steps at the appropriate height. Secure the braces

Decide which step is the right height for the opposite end and put the other end frame on that step, connecting the platform and securing the braces. You are now ready to begin.
Tips & Warnings
Never use the top step of a ladder to hold the plank. Make certain that the board is always at least one step down.
Make certain that the ladder is not on a carpet or something that can slip.
Make certain that the plank between is even.
Do not set either ladder on a carpet or surface that can cause slippage.
Never place the plank on the top of the ladder. Always go at least one step down.
Make certain that all connections are tight.
Do not put scaffolding footing on rugs, carpet, or anything that could cause slippage.
