paint can paper?
 

what type of paper do you to make the paint can sleeves? I find that 12x12 isn't long enough to wrap around w/o piecing papers together (which I hate doing)

Paper piecing is the only way I have done it, but I put my seams on the sides by the handles so they aren't seen. There was a template on here about two days ago for a paint can by a Cynthia (?), if that helps.

I use the Stampin' Up! wrapping paper. That way I have only one seam. After I cut the paper I decorate it (usually with a wheet design).
