Make the box first - from a square of good quality paper.
Make the wrap from good quality, heavy weight card.
Wrap length:
is the same measurement as the paper used to make the box.
Wrap width:
is 20mm (7/8") wider than the finished box width.
Score lines on wrap:
1) Mark the centre of the wrap (lengthwise).
2) Measure the height of the finished box.
3) Mark the box height measurement - half either side of the centre point.
If you want to colour tint, stamp or round corners of the wrap - do this before attaching to the box.
Add panels or 3D embellishments after attaching to the box.
