[step] When you are wrapping a cylinder-shaped gift, you can easily measure out the amount of paper using the gift as a guide. Place the gift on the wrapping paper and make sure that the paper can go all the way around the cylinder.
Cut the paper so that there is about a ½ inch of overlap. For the ends of the gift, pull up the paper on either side. You want it to go close to the side of the box. If you add extra paper, you will need to cut more fold space around the cylinder box. Make sure that the paper is even and not sticking up with the cylinder shape.

At this point, you're creating an oblong or teardrop-shaped item; the cylinder needs to roll into place. Measure and cut the paper so that it does not exceed the width of your cylinder.
