If you need help figuring out the layering of this project, check out the tutorial I made for my previous explosion box. There are some design differences, but the general structure is the same.
I had so much fun making this project! Both the design and assembly processes were really enjoyable. It’s incredibly difficult to capture all of the details of this project in photographs, so I hope you find the time to make it for yourself, so you can really enjoy it properly! In the end, I think the middle layer (with the cauldrons) ended up being my favorite piece, but it’s the most “hidden” layer in the pictures.
I use Adobe Illustrator for all my designs, and a Cricut Maker to bring my creations to life. For tips on creating fun paper cuts like this one, see the FAQ section on my website. Also, be sure to check out the other Halloween freebies available on my blog!
Enjoy making this Halloween explosion box! And, as always, be sure to share your devilishly delightful results with me on Instagram.
