Container
imitates an oversized glass honey pot
with edge-structured walls on four side
and
angled corners which hold clear acetate or vinyl panels.
At top, bottle’s
neck is fashioned from
ten-facet ring with rim.
Honey angled welded-word overlay
suggests
glass embossing for front wall panel.
A simulated cork stopper
fits into top opening.
Jar measures approx. 3.625” wide x 3.625” deep
x 5” tall (not
including cork stopper) when completed
and has a generous volume.
Consider
adding “Honey 3D Disc Dipper”
companion design to complete the ensemble.
ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:
A main hull with top panel
B main hull with bottom panel
C window clear panels (wide 4; narrow 4)
D bottom add-on panel (4 layers for thickness)
E bottom add-on panel with circle rim build up
F circles rim (4 layers for thickness)
G neck rim
"honey" welded word front panel decoration
H & I cork stopper main hull (joined)
J cork bottom panel
K "cork" accent print overlays (1 top; 10 sides)
be pressed and drying while other assembly is completed:
A) layer the bottom circle rim shapes and glue together,
taking care that all cut edges are aligned as precisely
as possible; press under a heavy flat weight until
completely dry (several hours or over night)
B) Identify the inside edge circle rim guide marks
on individual bottom panel, then . . .
. . . layer the other bottom panels with the guide mark
panel on top, taking care to align all cut edges precisely;
place under a heavy flat weight until completely dry.
3. Position and attach the rim ring on the bottom panel
with guide marks. Press under a flat weight until dry.
4. Prepare both main hull shapes by bending back
on all perforation lines for wall panels, lids, flanges . . .
wide wall top angled panels, taking care to pinch
along these perforation lines completely to "intersection"
with edges or nearby cut edges.
5. Position and lay out the two main hull cut shapes as
shown, with lid extension going upward and bottom
extension going downward. Align straight side edges,
with side flange tab overlapping the plain straight edge
to perforation line, adjust for upper and lower alignment,
then join seam.
6. Prepare the window panels by applying a double-sided
adhesive along edges, as described below.
This project is shown as assembled with Kool Tak
1/8" wide tape which has a removable liner (red)
which makes it easy to handle.
with pane cut edges just inside of side perforations,
and centered top to bottom to cover the window opening,
and attach in place.
7. Form the hull into a tube to overlap and join
the second side seam.
NOTE: because this seam will involve
attaching cardstock to clear material,
use an adhesive appropriate to both
(tape or Fabri Tack, etc.)
align straight wall edge with adjacent
wedge tab overlapped to perforation line,
and join seam. Complete all top and bottom angled
seams.
9. At bottom of hull, bend the tabs back so that
the bottom panel can fit into the bottom opening
with tabs and flanges tucked and attached behind
bottom angled walls, with bottom wall edges aligned
at bottom panel perforations.
Reach fingertips down through vessel to help apply
pressure to attach seams.
12. Form the rim shape into a ring to bring straight edge
10. Position the bottom thickness combination panel
to bottom panel, and glue in place with quick-grab
adhesive such as Fabri Tack.
11. Prepare the neck rim shape by bending edge tabs
forward and bending middle pair of closely-spaced
perforation lines back. Also bend back along the vertical
perforation lines between the 10 segments.
to overlap opposite tab, adjust top to bottom
and join seam.
then bend each to the inside of the ring . . .
. . . center the segment, and align end tab just above
the bottom (outward) tab perforation line.
As the segments are wrapped to the inside and glued,
check to make sure that each subsequent segment
overlaps the adjacent segment at edge,
and also that the top of rim is perpendicular to
outer wall plane.
. . . push through until top panel edge rests at
13. At top panel, insert the rim ring from bottom to
top through the opening, rotating so that the facets
of rim and opening align, and . . .
rim bottom tabs perforation lines.
Glue each rim tab to underside of top panel.
14. Bend the top panel down into position, with edge
tabs and flanges inserted inside opening as in step 9,
then . . .
join/attach all around. Insert fingertips inside vessel
to help provide a press-against surface.
15. Position and attach the "honey" decoration
to the selected front panel, angled just enough so
that ends overlap opening as shown.
16. Prepare the cork stopper main hull shapes
by bending back on all perforation lines for top panel,
bottom ring panel, edge tabs and wall segments.
17. Align and join the side seam.
18. Form the stopper hull into a ring to overlap
the side wall straight edge across opposite tab to
perforation line, adjust top to bottom, then join seam.
19. Bend the top tabs inward then bend the top panel
down, apply glue to tab surfaces, then attach top panel
to tabs all around, adjusting ring shape so that straight
facet edges correspond to tab perf lines as
closely as possible.
Reach fingertips inside to help secure tab seams.
20. Bend the bottom ring into position and repeat
step 19 for bottom ring edges and side wall tabs . . .
. . . reaching fingertip under the rim ring to pinch
each seam to help secure.
21. Apply glue to rim, then position and attach
the bottom cover to hide the cork stopper cavity.
22. Position and attach optional top and side accent
shapes to make stopper look like cork, if desired.
23. To "close" the jar, insert the stopper into the opening
with facets and edges rotated to appropriately align.

shown at end of tutorial images with soft ribbon
threaded through pierced holes at front angled walls.
Consider substituting the "Bee Wildflower Honey Decal
alternative cut design to front panel in place of "honey".
Now also on my to-do-list. It's so perfect!
ReplyDeleteHopefully next week the standing hexagon honey jar version will be completed, submitted and loaded, too.
