Explosion box #3

[wiseheart]

I've finally completed the explosion box that is meant to be a Christmas present for Heidi - it was a large chunk of work, and the thing didn't turn out exactly how I wanted, but it's pretty enough, I think. I hope.

See it closed, with the lid in place:

This is a spectacular present! How long did it actually take you to make it?

Several days. But I didn't make it all at once, just bits and pieces each time. I'm making such boxes with the fifth-term kiddies right now, and they actually manage. It isn't as complicated as it seems. Once you've cut out the individual layers and made sure they fit into each other, the rest is just decoration.

Utterly amazing!

Thank you. But honestly, it's not half as difficult as it looks by eyeing the end results.
