On Sunday, I designed some wraps to print out to motivate me to get ’er done.

And of course, I made them for you, too. I cut along the margin edge of each sheet to remove the white non-printed section (so when the bands overlap, the image blends onto itself,) then cut between each graphic to make the strips. Before rolling my fabric, I measured each and wrote the dimensions on the label of the wrap. I placed a 12-inch piece of tape on the table as a folding guide so that all my rolls would be uniform in length. I wrapped the roll with the band and secured with clear tape. Share.
