Exploding Box Kit Baby 1Completed by Joanna Hogger

I printed out all the sheets on 280 gsm cardstock and cut out all the elements 1st and put in a seperate bag i used a polythane card large bag as i knew the card pieces would be many once all cut, I then cut where told to cut on each layer and fold using photo glue once i had scored and folded each piece into place before applying glue so as to have the perfect layer before moving onto the next, once i had completed all layers which i also placed in the large card bag i got started on the lid placing a hanging pink dummy using craft see through thread by puncturing a small hole at the centre of the top of the box threading the wire through and placing one of the elements i used a baby girls cot over the top where i had punctured and knotted the swinging dummy as you lift the lid i finished the lid of with pink and gold peel offs around the edge of the ready to use cut out ribbon around the edges, on all the other elements i used crystal white around all edges as use as dummys on the babys i used the smallest gold rhindstones i had, on the butterflys i used crystal clear rhinestones large for the lower black dots and smaller ones for the top black dots and attennas , i used on the cots a pink heart pearlised rhinestone in the middle of each heart, whilst i waited for all the elements to dry over night , I glued each layer on top of one another and placed the lid ontop to keep dimension, I then added double sided 5mmx5mmx2mm on the elements needed put in place and made up the larger shoe using pearl pink beading around the trim, silver tiny rhinestones across the strap , a bright pink rhinestone as the buckle pink bow at front of shoe and finally a rhinestone baby bear to hide join at the back of shoe, last touch was of course tiny ribbons on the corner of each layer co ordinating, this really is the best box i have ever made even before my accident as they say time makes perfections and alot of love went into making this box hugs jo x
