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,
