I am thinking about making such an exploding gift box for years.
It’s called “exploding”, which is quite an exaggeration, of course. Nothing to explode, though, only very nice effect on opening. :-)

I saw the idea on this website two or three years ago, but just bookmarked it then. Obviously the right moment to make it was the other day, when I finally decided to give it a try. The reason was the birthday of a very special friend, so I sat and started work.

There are people able to make it for less than an hour, but with me that’s definitely not the case.
The details took me a lot of time, because I really wanted it to be an exquisite one.

Well, I won’t say how long it took me to finish it, but it was worthy.

The recipient liked it very much and even said:

The best present! :-) It radiates the love that was made with! :-)

Hey, It’s wonderful to hear something like this! ;-)
