On my box, I had several inches of overlap on the back of the box (hair) but it still looked perfect! I did a rough placement to make sure it all lined up correctly before I slathered the papers with glue. Glue on the rest of the head printouts.Note: I did reinforce the bond with clear tape around the edges-the face pages will cover, so no worries. No, it wasn’t fun.)

The pattern is scaled for an 11 x 11 x 11-inch box (can buy at Kinko’s, etc.). The Steve Head PDF makes 5 11×17-inch color prints and the Steve Hair PDF makes 2. Tell them to print it in poster setting with tile scale 100% and 0.005 overlap. My home printer can’t handle the paper size or quantity of ink, but my local Office Max/Kinkos/whatever can.
