You can transfer the liquids from the jug into a reusable water bottle or reusable filter pot

This will be excess parts that will not longer be needed

The dotted lines are where the flaps will crease and fold over. It's also good to round the edges of the flaps so they are not sharp

Trace Lines on Both Sides of the Tall Backing and Cut Along the Solid Lines

This is to cut off excess plastic that does support or cover the flaps

Shape the Tall Backing Around the Flaps in the Shape of an Arch/shell and Cut Along Dotted Lines

This is so the top will close easier and be held down with a rubber band

Place Paint or Any Design You Wish to Cover the Top of the Case
