9. Make a layer above everything and then ctrl + a and then right mouse click stroke, use a black inside stroke again

11. Ctrl + click on the first layer you created (that thing on top of your box) so it's selected, then choose you Pattern stamp tool and use the pattern we just made, just fill in that top thing you selected, hope this pic helps:

You have to do step 11 like that otherwise step 12 doesn't work.

12. Now go to edit>> Fade Pattern Stamp

13. Use these settings:
