I had originally cut the sheets to be 8" x 11 3/4", but now that I have actually measured the shelves, I can go with a larger size. I can actually fit a 14" tall sheet on 2 of the shelves.
Too bad I didn't find that out before I cut my sheet. Oh well, I'm going back for a couple more.
One question for those of you that are trying this, do you find that your material slides down the sheets, instead of staying sort of centered on them? Have any of you come up with any ideas to keep them from sliding?
Just put a couple of small piece of painters tape on the raw edge (dont' tape a folded edge) when you first start the wrap. If you just catch the edge in a couple places you shouldn't ruin any usable material.
That's a great idea. Thanks
