Explosion box

By Lisa Freeman | May 14, 2009

 

This is another project from my shoebox swap. My upline Melissa Ellis created the original version of this one. It is called an explosion box. You start with a 7 1/2 by 7 1/2 square of cardstock and score it at 2 1/2 and 5 on both sides. Then you have to score the 4 outer corners in half on a diagonal. That is the hardest part. These diagonals have to fold  in towards the center of the box. Once it is scored, it is easy to fold up and then cover with the lid.The lid is a 4 1/2 inch square and score just a sliver less than an inch on all 4 sides.

    I am going to attempt this one… I usually have a hard time with these folding thingies though.
