Make a Heart Explosion Box the Easy Way - 4 Layers & Lots of Extras!

Get the FREE Heart Explosion Box Template Tutorial at jennifermaker....
This heart explosion box is a wonderful and unique gift to give ... you can even hide surprises inside the box! Explosion boxes are one of the most fun gifts to give. If you aren’t familiar with them, an explosion box is a paper box that “explodes” open when you lift its lid. Okay, so, it doesn’t so much explode as fall open - when you open it up, the sides fall down. These make great gifts because you can put in little notes, photos, and even cash! My first explosion box tutorial was such a big hit and we’ve had many requests for another explosion box template. I’ve come up with this fun and beautiful Heart Explosion Box Template for all of you to make! These boxes might look complicated, but they aren’t hard - they just take some time.

JUST presented my second box as an Xmas gift (1st box was for Mum’s birthday in October) and again, sooo blown away with the pics and pockets. He didn’t even know explosion boxes were a thing!!! Thanks again!! Xx

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so very welcome! 💕

[@bayoufever]

This is so adorable. I highly recommend getting the scoring stylus, it makes it so much easier and gives a nicer finish.

[@JenniferMaker]

I totally agree!

[@JoJo-fan-right-here]

@@rachellejones1361 I wonder if you ever figured it out, she said either stylus or wheel in the video! 😂😂

[@JayeNicki]

made 2 other versions of this a year or so ago. It was so fun, time consuming, since all of it was done by hand, but it was worth it. Will try this one as well, and will be using the Cricut for the first time around with this project.

As a retired primary Elementary teacher (35yrs+), I would have LOVED this project as gifts for my young students! As it is, my grands (all under 6yrs) will be getting their FIRST (but not last - hahah) for Valentine's Day...my close friends, after that...I've been saving to buy a Maker, (since my two other crickets are so old), and this makes me save harder!

How big is the box after it is completely assembled

[@charlottec748]

I just finished making this and it's gorgeous. I will post on your FB group soon. Just have to figure out what I'm doing with all the white cards - am I stamping stuff or cutting pictures to fit. But I have to tell you that you are an engineering genius, and your tutorial, especially with those tricky folds, saved my life a few times during the assembly process. I did learn in the process that picking four sheets of card stock that looked good if the boxes were stacked and using those, reversing for the base and top, made it easier to find complimentary card stock for the insides, reversing those too. I hope that makes sense. Anyhow, thank you so much for this amazing file.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you SO much! 😊You're SO sweet!

You are very welcome

[@Salialto]

This was a lot of fun to put together and turned out so pretty! Your tutorial was easy to follow and made it seem simple (although time-consuming of course). Thank you so much! I thought I would let you know that the mat order did not turn out the same for me as in your diagram, even though I never messed with any of the colors. Numbers 8 and 9 were flip-flopped and the same thing happened for numbers 14 and 16. Luckily I caught it before I loaded in the wrong cardstock for those. Afterwards, I attempted to fix the mat order for future use, and boy did I struggle with that. I eventually got it, and now my mat order matches your diagram. I suppose it was a good exercise, but it was painful!

[@JenniferMaker]

Sometimes learning can be painful. I'm glad you got it! 😃

Ok so I showed it to my daughter and she wants to make it for her boyfriend. He is in the Marines because of COVID he can’t come home because we are a red state for COVID. Now he was told that he wouldn’t get leave to try again for at least 10 or more months. He is very home sick! She said mom I can put little notes, pictures and stuff in it so when he’s down it could open it and open something to put a smile on his face! She sending him a care package with some stuff from home think she is right will be a perfect add in!

I honestly thought it would take a lot longer to make, but it came together really fast and looked great. Already sent it off to him 💜

That is awesome, Dawn! We get a lot of questions about what you can put into the boxes - now we have an answer! "Engagement rings!" 😂 I'm happy you found it easier to create than you thought it would and you loved it! Hope his girlfriend loves it, too! 😍

[@dawnlittle946]

@@JenniferMaker one of the ideas we had was putting reasons he lives her on all the notes. We also didn’t glue the boxes together as he may do 3 reasons and 1 clue to where the next box is, the last box would have a clue to where he is, with the ring. Either way it’s a great keepsake 💜

Would the project be too small if they were sized to cut on the cricut joy?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes, if you sized this down to fit on a Joy, your box would only be 1.5" -- and it would likely be too difficult to fold all of the little pockets and notes and actually fit them in.
