Exploding Box

Finally, I've managed to get round to creating something! I decided last week that I wanted to make an exploding box using up all the odds and ends of paper and card I've got kicking around. I've never made one before but have been inspired by all the lovely ones I have seen on various blogs. This is the end result - a pastel spring themed box. I would've liked to add some glitter accents to the butterflies, but didn't have any glitter glue left. I also wanted to add some wording to the outside, but again didn't have anything in my stash, so I decided to leave it for now.

The box was going to be for my Mum for Mothering Sunday, but my daughter asked if she could have it. So now, I'm going to fill the central box with micro eggs from Tesco and give it to her for Easter.

  2. This is really gorgeous. I've never seen one with another box inside before. Are you going to do another for your Mum?

  3. Thanks Carmen. I'm definately going to make another one for my Mum. I'm also intending to finish of the Easter one I started, but I just seem to be so pushed for time atm :0(
