Step1: The Jar

  • Insert a rectangle with curved edges
    • Make sure its set to “cut”
  • In the Basic Shapes
    • Select Border
      • And select a border for you label
      • If you pick a dark label like I did, make sure you switch it “score”
  • Add text to your label
    • This can be customized to your preference
    • set your text to engrave

Step2: Add a design

  • There is extra space on the bottom so I added a flower from the plants section of basic shapes and set it to engrave

Step3: Adding the top

  • I wanted this to look like a vase so I add the shape that looks like a triangle but the with a flat bottom and aligned it centered to the jar
    • Once you have it straight you can “unite” on the left side panel

  • Create a another rectangle across the top of the ones that double rectangles
    • Select them all and “unite at overlap”
  • You should be left with a “U” shape
    • Copy and paste 3x
      • If you want your backing to be thicker you can cut more pieces
  • Set everything you just created to “cut”
