Great tutorial …wish I did more boxes but me got not where to put them…and this one is sweet….tfs
This is off-the-hook capital-G Genius! No wonder you”ve had requests. And the sample with all that texture is stunning. Thanks so much for sharing your hard work.
Great tutorial Heather, love the fact you have the dimensions for all the pieces listed separately from the video too!
thanks so much for this unusual box i am so pleased that you have shared your ideas.
What a wonderful idea. I am in the process of making explosion boxes for my great neice and nefew. If I had seen this I would have made it instead. I like the idea that I can have the pictures and a box to hold baby keepsakes. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you Heather, I made one today, and it”s so cute! Still have to do all the embellishments, and an accordian style album for inside, but it will be lovely! You are sweet to share!
Ohhhhh! Awesome! I do hope you return with a link so we can all see. I can”t wait!
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! Absolutely stunning. Thanks for the tutorial. I think I”d like to take a stab at making one. Wish me luck.

I hope you do! And I hope you also come share the link with us to ohhhh and awwww over.
Love the videos! And can I just tell you how jealous I am of your craft room! I usually have to grab everything I’m going to use that’s stacked up in a corner of my bedroom, and bring it out to the living room and break my back leaning over the coffee table. Lol.
