The holiday-themed explosion box tutorial is ready!
You can see the simple three-layer Valentine’s Day explosion box here if you want to get started on one.
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.
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!
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?
Emily says
My original idea was a penguin!! (However, I am kinda obsessed with penguins and wasn鈥檛 sure if anyone else would like it.) I鈥檓 glad you agree it鈥檚 a special gift. 馃
Shartae Martinez says
Love them both, I do think you should add a snowman option though. It would look good but the tree looks awesome as well
Emily says
Ok, I will add the snowman option too. Thanks!
Michelle says
What about a 3D snowflake? Or even a small purchased ornament option?
Emily says
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!
Ann Martinson says
I love the explosion box. A snowman would be awesome.
Emily says
Thanks! I think explosion boxes are just so much fun. I’m going to add the snowman option too.
Debi says
I love the box. Perhaps a Yule Deer in the center – standing or laid down.
Emily says
Oh that would be cute! I’ll see what I can do.
