This paper craft I saw from Youtube. Pronunciation in English is Exploding Box. I translate freely as the explosive Box. Create an Exploding box is not difficult and its don’t takes a long time. Just need a little bit of outlines, slashing with a cutter, attach with double-tape, and tadaaa. ....,it’s done. We don't even need to use scissors at all, except for cutting double-tape and Ribbon decoration (if you want)
This yields a very interesting box to serve as an alternative gift. Could be for a birthday gift, mother's day gifts, graduation gifts, gifts of separation, and others. Its main function is to save the image. But if you want can also be affixed with writings, drawings, and more.
The cost to make it very cheap. If using Carton paper color and wrapping paper color standards, the cost is less than five or six dollars.
Giving someone The Exploding Box as a gift will be very impressive. Because it is made by yourself, this gift will be felt very personal.
It is not difficult and does not elaborate. Let’s try!
Required materials:
-Carton paper color
-Wrapping paper with the surface is not slippery
-Paper glue (preferably a solid stick)
Necessary tools:
-Cutter
-Ruler (preferably iron ruler)
-Pencil to mark the auxiliary lines
-Scissors for cutting double-tape and Ribbon ornaments (if you want)
-Ice cream-Stick as a Tools
The steps:
Cut the carton paper color to make the first layer size according to yourself
Then line the paper into 7 x 7 cm
After this, we use the cutter to became like this. The size of each rectangle is a 7x7cm
I prefer using a cutter rather than cutting out the wrenching because it is more practical and more presentable. Just a tip, make sure that the cutter is sharp, and our powerful ruler (not twisted and are not exposed).
After successfully getting the first layer paper, we create a second layer, third, or even fourth when you want to. For its size, subtract 2 or 3 mm per layer.
After all layers available, we decorate the layers with wrapping paper. It could also be added to the other decorations. The more beautiful wrapping paper and embellishments, the more discernible our Exploding Box.
Attach the wrapping paper that we have cut into pieces (I prefer to use a cutter) on the carton paper colors that we have created a layers just now. Attach using glue paper. I prefer to use a solid glue stick, for not making paper wet. To make it more presentable in the glue paper, we could use an ice cream stick as a tool.
After we decorate the layers, then paste the layers using double-tape. Place Double-sticky tape at the bottom of the layer. Only at the bottom...
And its looks like this
Now we’re going to make the top of exploding box
Prepare a paper size 14 x 14 cm.
then cut it like this
Then make it curve like this
Cut the wrapping paper according to size of the Top , subtract 1 or 2 mm
To connect the side, i use the black tape (or another if you want)
Double-tape at the fold so that it is attached to. And done !
This is the result..
If the top is opened, its contents will explode like this
Those are the steps how to make the exploding box..
Come on make your own Exploding box^^/
PS : I’m sorry if my craft is doesn’t look nice and the ornament is simple because i do it my self and i’m not that neat.
See you in my next post !
