      Another way using UV tools.....just paint the cylinder using the normal bucket tool.

      Then right click the face, UV tools > Cylindrical Projection. Hey Presto...it maps the texture.

            SketchUV has more mapping methods.

                    Used the Old UV tools. Works pretty good . . .but I didn't get an Ace of Clubs for some reason.

                        thanks. . .didn't mean to hi-jack the thread. I just hadn't used UV tools for a while. Queen of Hearts does look like she is retaining a bit of water though. πŸ’š
