How do I measure wrapping paper to cover a keep sake box?
My friend wants me to help her redo the paper on a rectangle box that her Grandmother gave her many years ago. Can you please help us?
Thank you,
Melinda

Here you go, Melinda, have fun with it! I have covered so many boxes with paper and also with fabric.

I would first see if you can figure out how they did it the last time and go from there. When I use contact paper on a box, I measure the sides with a little extra to go around the squares and inside the box, then put a long piece to cover the bottom and the other two sides with one piece and enough to tuck inside the box on both ends. I hope you can understand my description. I do the same with the top.
