Um, I want to make about 30 or 50 open when cards for my soon to be boyfriend. I am only 14 but I love him and I need to know what I should put in them. I have already made the envelopes, and I have the money to buy the stuff I just don’t know what to get him.

If you want to pamper your lover even further, then you can gift them the ‘Personalized Love Explosion Box’.
This hexagon explosion box would make a creativeand unique gift for your loved one.
Explosion boxes look like a littlegift, but when the lid is removed the sides fall down to revealmultiple tags where you can put photos, sayings, and otherembellishments.
I've always been a fan of thesquare explosion boxes,but I wanted to try to make a hexagon version so I could have more tagsfor photos. I designed the patterns, and included them for easyprinting. The best thing about this project is that it is quick andeasy to put together. The patterns fit a standard 8.5x11 inch sheet ofpaper that will fit into a standard printer. In this way, you can printright on to your patterned paper or cardstock you are using, and justcut and fold on the lines. If you would like to make the pattern bigger(for 12x12 paper for instance), simply print out the patterns andenlarge them to any size you choose with a photocopier.
Making theactual box is easy. Most of your time for this project will be spentadding photos and decorating it. Your sweetheart is going to just lovethis thoughtful and personalized gift, that you made yourself!
Materials Needed for Hexagon Explosion Box:
- Four sheets of 8.5x11' cardstock or patterned paper (incoordinating colors). Tip: The box will be more sturdy if two of thesheets (the bottom layer and the lid for the box) are made of a heaviertype card stock.
- Scissors
- Glue
- 6 paper clips
- optional: scoring tool and bone folder for makingstraight, crisp folds
- Photos, die-cuts, stickers,embellishments, etc! Check out the scrapbooking aisle in your localcraft store for tons of options!
Instructions for the Hexagon Explosion Box
1.Begin the hexagon explosion box by clicking on each of the patternsbelow. A PDF file will open (Adobe Reader is required) for easyprinting. Put the card stock or patterned paper you are using directlyin the printer to print right on to it. It works best if you use aheavy card stock for the bottom layer and for the lid. Once you printthem, cut out the patterns. For the lid pattern, only cut on the boldlines. The other lines are the folding lines.

2. The next step is to fold each tab on the star-like patterns youprinted. It works best if you have a scoring tool and bone folder, likethe attachment I have here on my paper cutter. This will ensure a nicestraight fold. Once you have made a fold, fold it back and forthseveral times to 'wear in' the fold. This is because you want the tabsto fall back easily when the lid is removed. Once you have made all thefolds, you can begin to assemble the hexagon explosion box. Layer andglue the three stars on top of one another. Begin with the largest onthe bottom, then the middle size, and then the smallest star on top.Only add glue to the center hexagon, allowing the tabs to move freely.This forms the bottom of the box, and it is complete except for all thedecorating.
3. The next step is to prepare the lid. A heavy card stock works well,but as you can see I chose to use a patterned paper for the lid. Iprinted the pattern on heavy card stock, but then glued a thinpatterned paper to this card stock to make it more sturdy. Make thefirst two folds on each tab first, as shown.
4. Next, fold the side 'tabs' that are on every other side of thehexagon.
5. The side tabs will fit inside the fold of the side next to it. Applyglue to keep everything together, and then use paper clips to securethis while you allow it to dry.
7. The majority of this hexagon explosion box project will be all thedecorating, and there are so many options here. I gave this explosionbox to my husband. The top layer is all about our wedding. A few tabshad photos, one tab had our vows printed on it, and on one tab I gluedtwo small wedding rings with our wedding date. The middle layerincluded photos from various vacations we have taken, and the bottomlayer included photos of our family and children. Each layer movedchronically through our relationship, beginning wtih our wedding as thetop layer and finally to the bottom layer which highlights ourchildren. Be creative. You are only limited by your imagination. I canthink of a lot of possibilities, as I'm sure you can too!
Here's a few more ideas for your hexagon explosion box:
- Make each tab have a question about the two of you, with theanswer on the tab behind. For example 'My favorite thing about youis..', answer 'the way your smile can make my day'.
- Glue a small candy to each tab.
- Write certain verses of your favorite love songs inside
- Attach ticket stubs, pressed flowers, or other specialsymbols of your life together.

Response from Crafts For All Seasons: I love it when I post a simple example, and then I see the amazing works of art that my visitors make! Both of these explosion boxes are absolutely beautiful and so creative!! I love how Divya made this several layers tall by creating folded accordion tabs. When she pulls up on the stuffed bear, the entire project opens up and all the pictures are revealed. There are also creative touches, like the little cards that pull out of pocket folders using the ribbon tabs. This is truly a work of art, thank you Divya for sharing this project!'
