Round Shamrock Top Cut Outs Box

 Twelve facets create a rounded container 

composed of BASE (approx. 1.5” tall) with 

domed LID (approx. 4.25” across) accented with 

shamrock icing-style overlay that fits around window cutouts. 

This unique box can hold loose treats, 

displayed as seasonal decor or to hold potpourri holder.

ASSEMBLY: 1. Identify and cut the shapes:

A LID dome main shape

B LID top reinforcement shapes (2 to layer for thickness)

C LID front accent shape with dot cut outs

D LID underlay for dot contrast

E shamrock icing outline (3 to layer for thickness)

F BASE rim reinforcement

G BASE rim overlay with inner rim flanges

H BASE side walls (2)

I BASE interior floor   J BASE exterior floor

K LID flange segments (3)

L BASE interior rim positioning guides (6)

M BASE interior reinforcement "shelf" ring

2. Assembly of this box will follow the steps outlined

in the tutorial blog post for a previous project which

can be followed by clicking on this LINK. 

Before going to the other post for assembly steps,

review, then substitute the follow lid assembly

for the shamrock icing design shown below, then

substitute these for Steps 3, 5-7 in that other post.

3. Layer the LID top reinforcement shapes and join

together, taking care to align ALL cut edges

as precisely as possible. Immediately press under

a heavy flat weight until dry.

4. Position the underlay contrast ring behind the

LID's front accent shape . . .

. . . and position it so that it is centered,

with the bottom scallop - identifiable

by the narrow notch - under the shamrock's stem,

and the remainder of the underlay shape where it

will show thru the dot cut outs from front; glue in place.

5. Layer, carefully align and glue together all 

icing cut out accents, taking care to align ALL cut

edges as precisely as possible.

Press under a heavy flat weight until completely dry.

6. Complete the LID prep and assembly using the shamrock

reinforcement, accent and icing shapes in place of

those shown in the LINKED project tutorial, but in

the same manner of construction.
