How to make it
Print at 100% (Actual size), not Fit to page.
Cut the solid lines and crease the dashed ones against a ruler.
Glue the wall strips into a ring, glue the base under it, set the candle in and slip the lid on.
Good to know
- An 8 oz tin's box prints on one Letter or A4 sheet; an 8 oz straight jar's takes two Letter sheets or one A4.
- Each size adds 4 mm across the candle, and 5 mm over a tin for its lid.
