Get a piece of newspaper. Cut a larger square than the one you used in your sample. Put the candle on the newspaper & fold the corners out instead of in. Repeat with paper until you get the size square and the correct placement of the corner seams. Make sure that you make the paper version a bit roomier because when you fold the corners IN in the real version the quilted fabric is going to take up a bit of room When you cut your fabric, remember to add seam allowance to your newspaper pattern. Also, because you are going for a tall box, the 4 ears will only fold down a few inches from the top.
