Baby Shower Exploding Box

It was my sons girlfriends baby shower recently and I wanted to make something special that they could keep and would also double up as the 'wrapping' for her gift.
As we didn't know whether it was going to be a little girl or boy, I opted for a yellow colour scheme and also wanted to incorporate the theme they were having for the nursery which was going to be elephants.
Having looked at Pinterest for my inspiration, I decided to make an exploding box and used a couple of boxes on there as my main source of inspiration, combining the two for the look that was perfect for me.

Two of the sides we're joined together so they could be decorated as the nursery walls. I handcut the cot, making a small blanket to cover the base with a teddy bear at the bottom of the cot.  The cot was to also hold the charm I had bought as a present. 

The remaining two sides held messages and sentiments.

For the lid I used a bootie die from Joy Crafts and decorated around them with flowers and a plaque with the message 'Bundle of Love'

I was really pleased with the way it turned out and Mum to Be loved it too. Many thanks to the boxes that inspired me on Pinterest.
