Hello,
Wow! It's been quite a while since I've posted. Thanks for all the kind emails asking if eveything's okay. Everything is fine, I've just been really busy these last couple of months.
Anyway, I have a really cute project for you today. It's called an explosion box. It is such a unique way to display photos and it is really easy to make. This box is the perfect gift and it doesn’t even need gift wrap! The box holds up to twelve photos and folds up into a 4 x 4 box.
You will need the following to create your explosion box:
3 pieces of 12 x 12 cardstock
1 piece of 8 1/2 x 11 cardstock
Decorative Cardstock
Outside Box: 12 X 12 piece of carstock scored at 4" on all four sides. Cut out the four corners and fold on score lines like a big plus sign. Cut 4 pieces of decorative paper to 3 3/4" square and attach to the 4 corners of your box.
Middle Box: 10 1/2 X 101/2 piece of carstock scored at 3 1/2 " on all four sides and again cut out the four corners and fold. Cut 4 pieces of decorative paper to 3 1/4" square and attach to the 4 corners of your box.
Inside Box: 9 X 9 piece of cardstock scored at 3" on all four sides and again cut out the four corners and fold. Cut 4 pieces of decorative paper to 2 3/4" square and attach to the 4 corners of your box.
Lid: 8 X 8 piece of cardstock scored at 1 7/8" on all four sides. Cut the corners of the lid as shown here and attach with a little piece of adhesive.
Attach some ribbon and /or some other embellishments to decorate your box.
Here's an explosion box that I recently made. I will be posting this as well as a few other photo boxes in the Moonlight Creations Store a little later this afternoon.
