Explosion Box

Hey everyone!! Do you remember the first video about the first time I did an explosion box....well now I suddenly feel like doing a tutorial.

This is what it looks like closed :

And this is what it looks like when you lift the lid. This is the side view. As you can see, it has 3 layers of boxes and a 3 tier cake:

 And this is what it looks like from the top view:

The following will be a step by step (hopefully) tutorial for this awesome explosion box:

The papers that I have used are Rosie's Studio Designer Scrapbook Pad which comes in different designs. I chose a Garden Style specifically because it looks antique and my friend loves these types of designs. They measure 30.5 by 30.5 cm which is a good for this project. 

Step 1:

Get your 4 papers ready to measure and cut.

I used this for the box; which you can see from the photo at the top. I used 2 sheets of this paper for this project; one for the box and the lid:

This one I used for the second layer:

And the last one I have used a neutral colour to tone the bluey-green paper:

Step 2:

Measure your first box layer 27 by 27 cm and then divide it into 9 cm both sides. Cut the 4 corners. I kept the 4 corners and stuck them to the back as mine white at the back.

Step 3: 

Measure the second layer 24 by 24 cm and divide it into 3s of 8 cm.

Step 4:

For the third layer, measure 21 by 21 cm and divide into 3s of 7 cm

Step 5: 

Stick them onto each other till it becomes like this:
