Flat Honey Jar Window 3D Treat Box

Front and back panels camouflage the candy treat 

container between. Front oval window cut through 

multiple layers offers a glimpse of sweets inside. 

Honey welded word banner accent can be overlaid 

across the front panel.

Box container is assembled, and then attached within 

guide marks aligned at bottom between jar front 

and back assemblies. 

Jar container measures approx. 5” wide x 5.87” tall 

x .85 deep when fully assembled. 

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A front panel base

B front panel jar main shape

C front panel contour shape

D lid assembly: main silhouette, bottom rim,

left and right partial "threading" strips

E honey banner layers: letters "stencil" including separate 'o';

contrast layer to show thru layers;

dark curl shadow reveals; bottom mid-curl base layer

F front window clear liner

G back panel base   H back panel jar main shape

I container box

J honey dipper build up layers stick/head (4)

K honey dipper head build up layers (4)

2. (NOTE: this shape is shown from backside.)

Prepare the container box by bending back on all

perforation lines for panels, lid, tabs and flanges.

3. Prepare clear window panel by applying narrow 

double stick tape such as this Kool Tak 1/8" wide

tape which has a removable (red) backer . . .

. . . to each of the four edges.

Remove the backer strips . . . 

. . . then position sticky-side down on the backside of

the window panel, within the panel-defining perf lines,

and to cover the oval cut out.

4. Form the panel into its box shape to bring

the plain side edge to overlap the edge flange

to perforation line on opposite side. Adjust for

best top to bottom alignment, then complete the seam.

NOTE: the box can be flattened in order to

conveniently apply fingertip pressure all along edge.

5. Pop the box back to dimensional configuration,

then bend the bottom side tabs inward, bend bottom

panel into position, tuck its flange into box bottom,

and attach in place in "closed" position.

6. Position and attach the front accent shape onto

the front base shape, bottom edges aligned,

other edges offset with narrow margin.

7. Prepare the lid accent shape by positioning

and attaching the bottom rim along bottom edge,

"screw-on" thread strips one on each side where

the side edge shaping indicates and small guide cuts

near center help to align perpendicular to rim and top.

8. Position and attach the lid accent and front contour

accent shapes onto front panel assembly.

9. Position and attach the back accent panel to

the back base shape.

10. Prepare to assemble the "honey" banner accent

by identifying and becoming familiar with the layers

as shown, top to bottom:

A) word "stencil" layer, including the separate 'O' interior

B) contrast second layer

C) curl shadow third layer

D) base layer

11. Position and attach the contrast layer to

the backside of the front layer. Also position

and attach the O interior shape inside O exterior window.

12. Position and attach the "honey" assembly onto

the curl shadow layer.

13. Position and attach the assembly from step 12

onto the base shape.

Position and attach the banner across the front window

of the front panel assembly (refer to opening thumbnail

or see step 17).

14. Prepare the honey dipper accent by layering

the four stick shapes and attaching into a stack,

taking care to align all cut edges as precisely as

possible. Repeat for the four head shapes.

15. Position the head stack onto the stick

stack with edges aligned precisely and attach.

Press flat under a heavy flat weight until

completely dried.

16. Place the jar back panel assembly face down on

work surface and locate the side alignment dash lines.

Position the backside of the container box (with

adhesive applied) onto the panel backside, matching

the box side edges to guide marks, 

and bottom edges even, and attach in place.

17. Repeat the process to position and align box front

edges to guide marks on backside of front panel

assembly, bottom edges even, and attach in place.

18. To close the box container when filled,

bend top side tabs inward, top downward, tucking

flap into container at back.

19. To tie the dipper accent into place, punch or pierce

a small (1/8") hole through the front panel assembly layers

in the approx. position shown here, then thread

narrow ribbon through . . .

. . . then tie the dipper in place. Add dab of glue

or sticky dot to help it stay in desired position.
