I just want to start off by saying how excited I am too share this project with you all.
This is my first ever explosion box and what a great way to start off my brand new blog. Old one deleted. Time to start a new
I have done a 3 part tutorial for this over on my channel - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTBG1rHe5Ag follow the link to part one then continue from there.
Here's how we make it - Main box base 12" x 12" score on all four sides at 4", 8"
Panels - 3.7/8" x 3.7/7" you will need 17 of these
Main box lid - 9.1/6" x 9.1/6" score on all four sides at 1", 2.1/2"
Middle box base - 11" x 11" score at 1", 4", 7", 10" rotate 180 degrees and score the same again.
Panels - 2.7/8" x2.7/8" you will need five of these.
Lid - 8.1/6" x 8.1/6" score at 1", 2.1/2" on all four sides.
For all the other elements I used my dies to make various bits to decorate, A notebook, flip album, more places to store photos. I used my word dies to put hello on the inside box.
Both lids are reinforced this way the box become much sturdier.
I haven't left instructions on how I did the notebook and other little bits because I'm sure you want to put your own style on it. You can always watch Part three to see how I made mine to give you some inspiration.
Thank you so much for stopping by do keep scrolling to see the pictures of the finished box.
Happy crafting Danielle xx
