" Want to have something unique gift for someone special in a particular occasions ?"
Well , the simplest and cheapest gift that I could suggest is this we called explosion box . I think you have already knew this thing somewhere in social media right? But I just want to show you the steps that I used in making my very own Explosion Box .
By the way , to those who didn't know what is explosion box so this thing is used for hiding a gift or gluing in photos. It's also an original idea for a wedding or birth announcement.
🌸Steps in making explosion box🌸
📎Materials :
•77 x 77 cm (30-5/16 x 30-5/16 inches) thick paper (like cardstock)
•Double-sided tape
📎Tools :
•Cutting board
•Utility knife
•Pencil
•Ruler
🌸 Instructions 🌸
From the paper, cut 3 pieces measuring:
•30 x 30 cm (11-13/16 x 11-13/16 inches)
•29 x 29 cm (11-7/16 x 11-7/16 inches)
•17 x 17 cm (6-11/16 x 6-11/16 inches)
On the 30 x 30 cm (11-13/16 x 11-13/16 inches) piece, at 10 cm (3-15/16 inches) from each corner, make a 10-cm (3-15/16-inch) cut.
Fold perpendicular to each cut to mark the place, then unfold it.
•On the 29 x 29 cm (11-7/16 x 11-7/16 inches) piece, draw a square at each corner measuring 10 x 10 cm (3-15/16 x 3-15/16 inches).
•Cut them out. This will leave you with a cross.
•Fold each tip of the cross in over the center square, marking the spot for the fold.
•Glue the cross on the bottom of the box.
•Cut a 16.3-cm (6-7/16-inch) square.
•Fold in each edge by 3 cm (1-3/16 inches) to mark the spot.
•Make a cut of 3 cm (1-3/16 inches) at each corner (bold lines on the template).
•Fold these cut tabs toward the inside.
•Tape them in place.
•Refold the sides of the lid.
•Tape them in place.
Refold the sides of the box that will be held closed by the lid.
🌸 TIPS🌸
•If you want to glue in photos, glue them on the cross before gluing the cross to the bottom of the box.
•To make the box more quickly, use paper with patterns on both sides so that you won't have to line the inside.
You can make your own theme in your Explosion box. Have fun in making ! 😊💕
