The holiday-themed explosion box tutorial is ready!

View this post on Instagram

A post shared by Emily (@minordiy)

You can see the simple three-layer Valentine’s Day explosion box here if you want to get started on one.

Red three-layer explosion box, opened, with miniature Christmas trees in the center.

The holiday explosion box has three layers and either pockets or petal envelopes on each layer. The final inside box has three mini-Christmas trees.

Should I have a snowman option for the center too? Or something else? Please let me know what you think in the comments below.

Here’s the outside of my winter-themed explosion box. I’m channeling my inner Elsa. 馃檪


This project is going to be part of a Holiday Showcase; I’m joining 13 other craft bloggers to share free project files with you.

Here’s a sneak peek of what we’ll be making!

Holiday Showcase flyer; event with projects from 14 different craft bloggers.

Can’t wait to get started on Christmas projects?

Here are a few to get started on…

  • Scratch-off gift tags – no one can peek if you use these!
  • Gnome Christmas Tree Ornaments; they also have a special home in this explosion box
  • Create a Winter Holiday Gift Box with pop-up cubes

    Really a gift to give to someone special and the trees are so cute! You always makes so lovely projects. A snowman would be an alternative hmm maybee a pinguine?

    Love them both, I do think you should add a snowman option though. It would look good but the tree looks awesome as well

    What about a 3D snowflake? Or even a small purchased ornament option?

      The 3D snowflake would be good! I actually checked at Walmart for a little ornament to stick in the final box or slide in the ornament pockets, but everything I saw was all too big. I was trying to stay away from having to order it!

    I love the box. Perhaps a Yule Deer in the center – standing or laid down.
