Take a sheet of paper and wrap it around the candle jar with the top of the sheet right under the top ridge of the candle. Make a mark where the sheet overlaps and another mark about 1/2" past that to allow for some overlap.
Then, make a mark where the bottom of the jar starts to taper in. You don't need any overlap for the top to bottom measure. For the candles I have, from Reed Candle Company, the sheet needs to be 7" tall and 8.25" wide. With the added 1/2" for overlap - the final image for the candle needed to be 7" x 8.75". Your candle wrap may be a slightly different size depending on the supplier of your candles. I always like to do a couple of test sheets to make sure that it will wrap correctly.
