How to fold it

    How to make it

    1. Print at 100% (Actual size), not Fit to page.

    2. Cut the solid lines and crease the dashed ones against a ruler.

    3. Glue the tube, seal the four bottom flaps, fill it, push the side gussets in and glue the four layers of the fin.

    Good to know

    • It starts at 2.5 × 2.5 × 3.75 in inside, which holds 384 ml (13 fl oz); Quart is one of the shapes.
    • The roof rises 0.4 of the depth above the walls, and the fin on top is 6 to 12 mm tall.
    • It can't be deeper than it is wide, because the gussets fold in and meet in the middle at most.
