Santa Sack Beard Window

Festive gifting container that imitates a common lunch sack 

with a gnome-ish Santa head on front panel. 

Santa’s beard outline surrounds the clear see-thru panel 

that lends a sneak-peek to the goodies within. 

Decorative top flap wraps over back panel with cut-on tab 

that fits into slot as closure. 

Sack has perforations to fold flat, with doubled floor panels, 

and measures approx. 6.625” tall x 4.5” wide x 1.625” deep 

when closed. 

ASSEMBLY 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A sack front & side panel   C sack back & side panel

D optional flap contrast full size overlay

E beard outline window surround

(NOTE: this shape and some of the following

have been modified to include

a small cutout below mustache edge)

F mustache overlay

G face shape

H eye contrast underlay (NOTE this shape

has been modified to be longer to provide

underlay contrast for small below mustache)

I nose underlay contrast and front

J hat  shape with tassel ball and brim fur overlays

2. Prepare the fold the sack front and back shapes

by observing the following colored diagram to see

where the GREEN perforation lines are for "mountain" folds,

and the RED perforation liness are for "valley" folds.

Refer to the diagrams to bend and fold the cut shapes

on perforation lines according to the diagrams

for front and side panel shape . . .

. . . and back and side panel shape.

3. Position the back/side (left) and front/side shape

panels, then overlap the straight side edge of front

over the edge flange of the back, adjust top to bottom

for alignment of edges or perforations, 

then glue the seam.

4. Position the clear vinyl window panel behind 

the front panel, with clear panel margin beyond window's

cut edges and attach in place.

 One good way to attach the vinyl panel is by using

double sided tape, such as the "Wonder Tape"

product shown here. The double sides tape is attached

in short lengths around window panel edges,

then removing the liner to expose the front adhesive

surface and attaching to backside of sack.

5. NOTE the modified final Santa assembly

illustration showing the location of the mouth

area below the mustache that does not show

on the shapes in the layout AND in the illustrations

shown below.

Begin with the Santa unit assembly

separate shapes.

 Position and attach:

a) mustache over

the matching area of beard outline;

b) nose front over contrast underlay

c) eye contrast behind face shape;

d) brim fur strip at bottom of hat,

and tassel ball centered over hat tip.

6. Position and attach:

a) nose over matching area of mustache;

b) face shape behind beard/mustache

assembly.

(NOTE that hat does NOT attach

to face or beard unit at this point.)

7. Position and attach the optional contrast flap

shape on the front of the sack front panel where

edges match, and with long straight edge

along the flap fold perforation line.

8. Position and attach the face/beard unit with

beard's inner cut edge aligned with sack cutout

edge (clear window panel is in place), then

position and attach the hat assembly centered above

and abutted next to the top straight face edge.

9. Complete the final side seam of sack by forming

the sack body into a tube to overlap and align

the plain straight edge across the opposite flange

to perforation line, adjust for top to bottom edges

and perforation, then attach.

10. At bottom of sack body, bend the side triangle

tabs inward, back bottom panel inward, then front

panel inward and attach all together in place

to form the sack's double-layer floor.

11. To close the sack after filling,

tuck the flap's tab into the slot.

Here is the finished, filled sack.
