DIY: Gift Idea - Explosion Box

I have always been a DIY person since young, and every year I will always DIY cards for Mr WONDERFUL and my colleagues. Recently, I saw a blog post about This DIY Explosion Box and became interested in it. I went to YouTube and begin searching for the instruction video. My brother's wedding was just around the corner and I thought this will make a great wedding gift for him.

So what's an explosion box???

It looks like any ordinary gift boxes on the outside, but when you opened up the box, it 'explodes' into a series of flaps and pockets. You can stick photographs, write little poems on the flaps to decorate them.

It is actually something similar to scrapbooking, except that the outlook is a BOX. 

So I turn these pieces of colored & pattened papers and card boards into.....


these little flaps (with help of some other little decorations as well)....


And my end product looks like this.....


Cool right??

It looks like any other ordinary gift boxes.
And when you take off the cover, the box 'explodes'......



I got most of the materials from Daiso and the papers and card boards from Popular Book Store!

Here's a video of how my end product look like.


I created a 2 tier wedding cake in the centre of the box with their wedding photo. You can also replace it with a smaller box if you like to add in a small gift. It is all base on your own creativity, so there's no limit to how you want to do...

Link to the tutorial video on YouTube.

This will make a great gift for birthdays, anniversarys, weddings, baby showers, for all occasion that you can think off...

Lotsa LOVE,
Annette

Reviews: Orbis Aqua Peeling Gel

I've never been a fan of peeling gel. I've tried a few brands before, but somehow, I don't think that it works. It's not that it doesn't clear the dead skin, but rather, I can use the peeling gel continuously 3 times on the same place and still, there are lots of dead skin. So it's either the peeling gel doesn't work or I've got too much dead skin.... I got this sample months back when I shopped at the Pop-Up store at Ion. I tot I should try this out since I've been enjoying some of their products. It's a clear gel, turns watery upon application. I like the fact that the dead skins clumps together instead of the usual when they will drop everywhere in the bathroom. I did a second 'test' right after the first usage on the same area. Guess what?  Orbis Aqua Peeling Gel is really up to my expectations.... The first application had removed quite a bit of the dead skin on my hands, and during th...
