DIY Pop Up Cube Surprise Box Tutorial for Dad

[@MaymayMadeIt]

I want to say thank you to Judy Watson for the box sent to me. And thanks to Tamatha for researching to find Ms Judy was the one the made it for me! I appreciate all the help going back through videos and finding it for me! You both rock!

[@deborahadelescraftroom6150]

I was about to give up until I saw your video. Great job!

[@brianacpratt]

I love your changes - you are too clever Maymay!!! And your teaching style is, as always, perfection 💛💛💛

[@withinkedfingers8971]

Love your version! So fun. I made one of these for Mother's Day for my mom. She loved it. I had watched a couple of Stampin' Up demos from the UK. One if them used an S clip and two smaller rubberbands so there was no poking holes. I used hair elastics from Sally Beauty that might be latex free. Worked like a charm! Thanks for sharing 💕

[@RhondaFavors]

I'm making this for my grand nephew. He is turning 16 on the 4th of July. I have been looking for the perfect card. Thanks Maymay. I also just used my loyalty points. I got 10.00 off my order. Yay!

[@tamivevurka]

Lady you just don’t know how long I have been looking for this tutorial nobody knows what I’m talking about Thank you so much I should’ve checked with you a couple years ago you always seem to have it

[@jyvonnep]

You are so awesome, Maymay!! I love your tutorials! They’re easy to understand and, this might sound weird, but your voice is “peaceful “. I suffer from migraines so voices like yours don’t break my head. 😊. Thank you for this tutorial! My son’s birthday is next month so I’ll be making this explosion box. And I’m going to put money in it. 😁.

[@Kimspaperwhims]

You are amazing. I made this project for the first time last week. I wish I would have seen this video because what you do fixes the pain points I had. You rock… this is spot on.

[@vikkigentry8327]

You are wonderful! Your explanation is clear and your directions are very precise and followable. Thanks.

[@verblu8507]

That is so cute! Any dad would excited to receive this! Thanks Maymay for sharing this! God bless!!!

[@joyannbutcher3786]

Fabulous idea! My grandson would love this. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@jamiegorsuch1678]

I love that you explain what you're doing and why. I love this project. Thank you so much!

[@littlespacemanpapercrafts]

❤ i made one of these before for my husband for fathers day and put photos of him and our son on them xx

[@ssharp11]

Wonderful project. Excellent start to finish tutorial. Thank you. Stay safe. Wishing you a super week. Hugs Susan

[@Kimspaperwhims]

I did that with confetti and money!!! You are amazing!!!

[@jackievass8961]

Thank you for your version, I love how you teach and your explanations.

[@lindak9079]

Maymay that is such a cute idea! Thank you for sharing with us!!

[@elisebb8423]

Cute idea!!! Thanks for the easy instructions, Maymay!

[@DebadooCreates]

Oh my goodness! We did these when I was a kid oh, that was a few (cough) years ago lol. But I would never ever have remembered how to do them. But they are so much fun so I thank you for not only doing the video but also figuring out so we don't have to tie the rubber bands. Hopefully I have some 2 and 1/2 inch ones in my giant bag of rubber bands. I'm thinking you might even could put a fourth one in there. I'm going to share this to my granddaughter and see if she wants to make it for my Son

[@cherienicholas5649]

What a super, different box! I loved it when you opened yours in the show and I am so glad you did a tutorial. Love, love, love it! Thanks so much!

[@gingerwhalen7734]

I was second guessing myself for not buying the dies for this because the cuts looked really simple and seemed like a waste of money...so glad I held out. Thank you for this video. I think I will make the box and put it in my Scan N Cut? Thanks again!

[@robint1704]

I've made this design and stapled the rubber bands, but your way is much better! I gave this as a 70th birthday card with photos throughout the decades on the boxes. Sorry no photos to share. Thank you.

[@cyn9247]

Have watched many videos of this and actually made one. Your video has some great tips to get clean lines and folds. Thanks!

[@outofthecraftermath8497]

Maymay, thanks for sharing this! You know we want them in a smaller size also. : )

[@terijo2504]

Ha, I see my sister’s birthday card kinda thing in this! So much fun! Thanks MayMay!

[@jackievass8961]

Thank you for your version, I love your work and your explanations.

[@annwashabaugh4574]

These are so much fun!! I just made these boxes for my son's birthday last week!!

[@karenjudy6936]

So very cute!! I'm going to try this for my father-in-law!!

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

Love this, Maymay! 💕

[@katyratyra]

Love this! I did watch a different video, and I thought maybe I could follow their instructions, but not really clear. Your video came up, and yours is very clear and easy...Thank you!

[@Sylkbuttafly]

I found putting clear tape on both sides of where the rubber band goes helps to keep the rubber band from tearing the paper. Thank you so much for this idea. Also I had never used a scoring board and my first try on the storage box kind of ripped it. Learn from your mistakes right.

[@katyratyra]

Wow! Brilliant! I just watched a video where they used centimeters, and I was thinking ugg, I don’t know about turning these into inches. Now I don’t have to. Hooray!

[@vero727cm]

I am sooo excited I looked for this since you had it on the crafter after! Can’t wait to start 🥰

[@MariaNyceDesigns]

Thanks so much for sharing this with us!!! I have to give it a try!!! Blessings & hugs!!!

[@thekrew406]

I absolutely love this one!

[@margaretcornwall2252]

Hi Maymay, Thanksfor this tutorial. I just made it for my Grandson’s birthday. We are in total lockdown in Melbourne, Australia and I cannot see him. I am hoping it will brighten up his birthday as no one can visit him.

[@melanieshaon5773]

I LOVE this!! It would be fun to make it for a child's birthday as well!! Thanks for all your inspiration!!

[@elainefiveland1462]

Wow! This is so cute. I must try them.

[@chillyb9987]

What a fun idea! I love this. Thank you for sharing

[@beckyhorn6266]

Thank you for this! This is so great! Love the tips you gave about cutting off the excess it worked first time!

[@wandahodges7311]

[@emh171ify]

Maymay you explain very clear really. Thank you . I would like to know what kind a paper did you used for this project and where can I get it .Thanks

[@dianemontavon5670]

If I gave this to my husband he'd have a heart attack...LOL...So cute.

[@dianesutton9282]

I love this project 😍

[@mariemoore1837]

[@ihanat]

I love this!! Thanks for the tutorial ♥️

[@robynlutes1415]

Love this! Going to make this for graduate

[@doreencrespo7133]

I was just looking for an idea for a graduation card and I think this might just work for me! Thank you for sharing!

[@lkhorvath4]

Yep. Ya gotta think Through the clean up!

[@Gina-uz6sr]

Just made these for a ‘Games Nite’ with girlfriends. I made the cubes into dice of different colours. Now, whoever hosts the next games nite will take the pop up box with them.

[@maxinecave584]

Thank you for the tutorial... 1.question...what weight of card do you suggest to use ?

[@lilianahoyos4101]

I love it thank for your tutorial.

[@usalas4]

Great tutorial. 🙏

[@jackiebender6700]

Got a Grandson birthday coming up and I’m definitely making this.

[@trinafry1052]

Love these things! I think I have made one for almost everyone I know in the last year. I made a template on my Cricut so it cuts them out for me. You can also just make one box & a sleeve for it. Not quite as fun, tho.

[@colleenmartineau3787]

Trina Fry hey there Trina, could you give me some advice on how to create that template on the Cricut?

[@ufoquilter86]

I would love an SVG of this, I don’t find it fun to cut it out by hand especially when making a bunch. Please

[@anaisabelgarciaduran7786]

Hermoso trabajo felicitaciones gracias por compartir bendiciones 🙏

[@stylesformiles79]

Love this!

[@BusTeenChurch]

Thank you for the tutorial. Where does one find the little container that holds the glue you are using?

[@kannankrew]

You sure make it look easy! My rubber bands are 3 inches and I’m still struggling lol

[@Hi.im.liyaaa]

Nice!

[@dianem5878]

I was wondering about adding a few more boxes and how I configure the box that holds the f"lyers" to accommodate more?🤔

[@prayersgoing3178]

Thank you, I can see a dear friend jumping outta his skin, given to him AFTER a Quick conversation about the snake he discovered in his lawn mower. 🤔🐴

[@anthonysparcino800]

You really did all that and didn’t show us opening it at the end😂😂😂 that’s why I stayed ha

[@kathycampbell5476]

Love this

[@Sandragen1]

I was so glad when I first saw it and you said you would show us. I's to late for me to make for tomorrow, BUT his birthday is next Sunday!Thank ever so much.

[@TWEEK_TWWEAK]

Very cute

[@DebbieRagsdale-pz3ci]

I am trying to make these adorable pop up boxes but having problems with the paper. I am using 65lb cardstock but the folds whole the paper peeling and when I add my rubber band it tears the paper. Please let me know what weight paper you are using.

[@robjoy58]

Your tutorials are amazing. Details that other videos do not include. I was able to made a variation of one of your boxes for my mom’s birthday. Do you have a tutorial how to make the fluttering butterflies?

[@tamthaluehrs]

Hi we do not have a video for those butterflies, you can probably do a yt or google search, thanks

[@rosemaryGomez-sh9le]

Hi, I wanted to know what kind of paper you use?, for I used 65lb cardstock and the gluing made the paper flimsy and they really didn't pop up like it should of. Do I need to use thicker paper of different type of glue? Thanks

[@mak327]

Dang... I just bought dies to make these, but this looks easy enough to do without them

[@nancyotterby9856]

I bought dies (which still haven’t come) too. 😏

[@jillcooley6429]

Where did you get the die. I'm not sure I can do all.

[@brianacpratt]

Saw HSN selling Crafters Companion Confetti Cube die/stamp set for $37. At that price I'll make a file for my scan n cut instead :).

[@debbiewinn1222]

I just bought dies for this, yours actually looks easier!

[@ufoquilter86]

Dies....where did you find those?

[@carriesmola6222]

Wow you were not wrong about precision. Made one and threw it in the trash!

[@ufoquilter86]

Is it best to make the cubes with thicker paper like 100 or 110 lb paper?

[@lkmc1952]

What weight card stock did you use? Really want to make this for my brothers b=day. Thank you.

[@tamthaluehrs]

Hi in the video we are using an 80lb cardstock, your cardstock need to be strong but not too thick or the folds will not work, thanks

[@bettyhornberger1470]

very clever

[@stacietrevino]

I tried so many times. My paper keeps tearing. I really wanted to make these for my daughter’s birthday.

[@almai6132]

How many lbs was the paper you used?

[@oreo01129]

can someone tell me what are the materials? I didn't see it

[@katherinegrice1801]

Cash goes in between each box

[@breannasmith3234]

Has anyone found a template

[@skandaprasad5107]

No rubber band

[@princekhatri1926]

A4 size paper name for paper

[@kannankrew]

Any size paper you can cut the base page out of should be fine. Need card stock not copy paper

[@princekhatri1926]

Please ans me
