Exploding Box: Scrapbook Project

This unfolding box makes a perfect place to display photos from one special event or even pictures from a whole year. Veronica Johnson used paper from Scenic Route Paper Company to create this exploding box and filled it with photos of spring flowers in bloom. There are other versions of boxes out there. What I love about these instructions is that you can create a box of virtually any size. You aren't limited to the size of a 12x12 piece of paper. Simply adjust the dimensions for your bottom layer to make the box bigger.
