This heart explosion box is a wonderful and unique gift to give ... you can even hide surprises inside the box! Explosion boxes are one of the most fun gifts to give. If you aren’t familiar with them, an explosion box is a paper box that “explodes” open when you lift its lid. Okay, so, it doesn’t so much explode as fall open — when you open it up, the sides fall down. These make great gifts because you can put in little notes, photos, and even cash!

I’ve come up with this fun and beautiful Heart Explosion Box Template for all of you to make! These boxes might look complicated, but they aren’t hard — they just take some time.
