How to do it
1 Use a pad of lace patterned card for decorating the box. You may choose to cut out individual parts from the lace patterned card or to cut the lace patterned card straight across.
2 Cut two pieces of lace patterned card to fit the two-piece lid on the small gift box.
3 Attach the lace patterned card onto the box lid using a glue stick. Remember to use an underlay when applying the glue onto the lace patterned card.
4 Attach the self-adhesive glitter hearts on top at your chosen locations.
5 Cut pieces of card to fit the flaps on the box. Attach cut-out pieces of lace patterned card onto the card using a glue stick.
6 You may attach the entire pieces of decorated card onto the explosion box using double-sided adhesive tape.

9 Cut out card hearts for decorating the corners on the box using the template.
10 Glue a piece of lace patterned card onto the card heart and trim from the back following the heart shape.
