Step 2. Create the base of the container

Cut out a sheet of hard plastic, creating a square-shaped piece. Now glue it to the bottom of the cap to create the base of your container. Wait for the glue to dry completely.

For now, don't shape the base of the container

Step 3. Wait for the glue to dry, about 10-15 minutes

Test the result of your work by inserting a finger into the container and gently pushing the base down. Make sure it does not flex, remaining flat and in place, and that it is perfectly glued to the cap at all points.

If necessary, add more glue to run for cover, and let it dry patiently
