The blankets are large, 3 feet wide by8 feet tall. The mylar is 1mm thick, I like to fold it over on itself. Each one is only a couple bucks.

i see... they are thin arent they, so you could just tape them up and cut them to fit?

with the wrapping paper you need to peel open the wrapper to look at the back side..to make sure its mylar ,some of the rolls are glittery instead of mirrored..you dont need to peel anything just use it backwards

yeah cut to fit or just fold over. You can tape them together however you like. Mylar comes in 1mm, 2mm and maybe 3mm. It really helps to reflect the light.
