Exploding Box



We have had lots of requests for a tutorial on the exploding boxes that have been on show. Rapt In Paper's box makes the process pretty quick and simple.
Assemble the box to point 6, when you stop at covering the inside floor of your box, because that is where the exploding part fits in.


Cut (2) two pieces of cardstock
10 ½ inches long
measure at 3 ½ inches wide but cut one piece inside the line and one piece outside the line so one is a smigden bigger
The smaller strip fits inside the larger

Score at 3 ½ inch intervals = a strip with 3 x 3 ½ squares







Glue the centre square of the smaller strip ontop of the centre of the slightly larger strip


To add even more layers of fold outs, cut more 3 ½ strips and gluing to the outer squares to expand your box to all kinds of extremes.

Looking forward to your gallery submissions, the best part of Rapt In Paper products is with the chipboard base and easy assembly you can concentrate on the fun part, the decorating !
