Explosion box ~ Tutorial

Explosion Box

by Beate Johns

Take the lid off of this box and the bottom folds flat like a card.

Supplies

  • Paper cutter with scoring blade

  • One 7 1/2" square of cardstock or patterned paper for box bottom

  • One 4 1/4" square of cardstock or patterned paper for box lid

  • Sticky Strip™

  • Additional cardstock for inside message and embellishment for lid (optional)

  • Stamps

  • Ink

Step-by-Step

  1. Step 1

    Take the 7 1/2" piece of cardstock and score at 2 1/2" and 5" on one side.

  2. Step 2

    Turn the cardstock 90 degrees and score at 2 1/2" and 5". There will be nine 2 1/2" squares scored on your cardstock.

  3. Step 3

    Score the four corner squares diagonally from the outside corner in towards the middle square.

  4. Step 4

    Stamp the box bottom.

  5. Step 5

    Prefold all scores. Fold the diagonal scores in towards the middle of the box.

  6. Step 6 (Optional)

    Add a message or saying to the box center.

  7. Step 7

    Take the 4 1/4" piece of cardstock or patterned paper and score it at 7/8" on each side.

    >
  8. Step 8

    On two opposing sides, cut the vertical score lines until they intersect with the horizontal ones. That will make the glue tabs.

    Optional: Cut the glue tabs down a bit to make sure they won't show when the tabs are taped to the sides of the lid.

  9. Step 9

    With the right side of the lid facing up, add Sticky Strip™ to the glue tabs.

  10. Step 10

    Prefold all scores and adhere glue tabs to the sides of the lid.

  11. Step 11

    Decorate the top of the lid with cut out image or tag, add a little ribbon, and your box is done.

Variations

    Change the size of the box
    Make it bigger or smaller. The size of the bottom cardstock has to be able to be divided by 3. A 9" square would be scored at 3" and 6", a 12" square by 4" and 8".

    For the lid the box with a the 9" square bottom would have to have a 5" square, scored 1" all the way around.
    The box with the 12" square would have to have a 6 1/2" square, scored 1 1/4" all the way around.

Crafts are here

Crafts are here, crafts are there,

My craft supplies are everywhere.

I really should clean this mess,

but I like it I confess.

Floor is littered, chairs are piled,

Kitchen's looking pretty wild.

On the table, counter too,

Seems that any place will do.

Hall is stacked with cartons high,

filled with things folks like to buy.

Garage is full, but so far....

there's still room to park the car.

I never have an idle day,

New ideas come my way.

Don't know yet what I'll create,

but my imagination's great.

My family smiles, they don't complain,

although at times I am a pain.

but when all is said and done,

I really am a crafty one!
