Pop Bottle Single 3D Gift Tote

Decorative tote packaging dresses up 

a single “specialty” glass bottle of soda. 

Composed of two hull pieces with 

back tab wrap and latch feature that assists 

adhesive construction. 

Also features an accent wrap band for 

three sides and contrast fold-over top “handle” rim. 

Great for many holidays or special occasions. 

Prepare it as a St. Patrick’s Day “toasting” treat by adding 

the “Happy St. Patrick’s Circle Tag” to front 

(with three-side band on back and sides), 

with tied ribbon bow on handle. 

Measures approx. 8” tall x 2.5” x 2.5” when finished.

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A hull back and sides  B hull front and bottom
C bottom interior reinforcement square
D top tote handle accent reinforcement
E three-sided accent band
F medallion base scalloped circle
G medallion layer 2 plain circle
H medallion "Happy St. Patrick's" letters disc
I center faux stitching disc    J shamrock

2. To prepare the medallion, organize the discs,

then layer the large layer 2 plain circle on top

of the scallop disc, using the center punch holes

to help align accurately.

3. Position and attach the letter disc, then . . . 

. . . position and attach the center faux stitching disc,
and finally . . . 

. . . position and attach the shamrock shape
over the center, hiding the hole.

4. Prepare the two hull main shapes by bending

back on all perforation lines for panels

and flanges.

5. Position the front/bottom straight side edge
over one side flange of the back/sides shape,
adjusting so that bottom straight edge or
perforation line up, and glue seam.

6. At the top handle panel, bend the extension

forward while also . . . 

. . . bending the lower tab extension back

and up between the two layers of tote handle . . . 

. . . then glue the fold-over handle area in place
on the backside of the hull back panel.
(The tucked tab helps provide a less "sharp"
edge where fingers may press against.)

7. Bend the angled side rim flanges back and

glue in place against inside edge of side panel.

8. Form the hull into a cube tube to bring together

the front's side straight edge and the side flange,

adjust and glue together.

9. At bottom panel, bend the side flanges inward

to tuck inside of side walls and glue in place,

while at the same time, tucking the back latch

into the back slot and gluing latch panel to back.

10. On front panel,  bend the front rim flange

back to the inside and glue in place.

11. Bend the tote handle accent shape back
on horizontal center perf line, then position
at tote top fold edge, wrap over the edge
with side edges aligned, and glue in place.

12. Prepare the accent band by bending back

on the vertical perf lines.

Wrap the strip around front and sides as shown

here, or . . . 

. . . across back and around sides as has been

done with the sample project, and glue in place.

13. Apply glue to the underside, then insert

the bottom reinforcement square into the tote hull

and push fully into the bottom to attach and

strengthen bottom.

15. Position and attach the medallion
on the front of the tote.

Here is the completed tote, ready . . . 

. . . to fill and decorate as a fun gift.
