Description A few people had asked how I do my wraps, and I figured I'd upload a quick tutorial...taking reference photos with only one free hand is tricky.

Although you don't have to, I would love you forever if you link me in the description if you use my tutorial to make something. Also, link me what you make because I want to see it!

DISCLAIMER: If I were using a smooth symmetrical stone, I would use different techniques. But since its a rough, tumbled stone, I prefer to use a more 'off the top of my head and only measure when necessary' approach.

EDIT: Fixed the font issue, hopefully.
'Download' at your own risk, its a big file!

Cool tutorial! Maybe this is how I can take care of all the small beautiful stones I have.

On a side note, I would suggest editing the typeface used. It's a cool decorative one, so it'd work better just for the title. In the instructions, it just makes it harder to read in general and at that size is really hard to read, since most of the letters look nearly the same.

Once you download, it's not that bad, but then the image is way too huge. ^^

Yea...it was my first tutorial, so its a bit rough around the edges!

I 'think' I still have the photoshop file so I can fix the font.
