Exploding Clown Box

I had fun making this box today. Files coming soon. You could put photos on al the flaps and make it as a gift. Or deliver a gift card in style, by putting it in this cute box.

This box takes 4 cuts. I used two pairs of two-sided card stock. Then by switching the colors you can have lots of contrasting pieces, that you can use to embellish your box. 

The svg file for this clown box will be for sale on my blog for $3.00. You need to buy a 1 inch wooden bead for the head and a pompom for the nose(or cut one out of paper). I drew on the face with some sharpie markers.

Outer layer: fold 4 flaps towards the middle. Add Party cut to the rectangle background and put on front of box. Add clown shoes.  Use raised dots to attach various trims to side of box as desired.

Lid: fold to make lid and glue. Make present by glueing bow onto front. FOr 3-d effect, use raised dot to attach to second present layer. Glue arms on the side of the box lid, so that the hands can hold the present. Attach present to the clowns arms. Fan fold the neck "ruffle" , glue ends together and flatten. I glued it to a scrap of paper to keep it flat.

 Attach "rosette" or ruffle to top of box lid. Attach clown head. Attach nose to clown head. Make hat by folding circle into a cone shape. Attach hat to bead clown head.

Middle layer: fold 4 flaps towards middle. Attach with glue to outer layer middle square.

Inner Layer: fold 4 flaps towards middle. Attach with glue to middle layer.

Trim with various hearts, stars and squares.
