<!-- 1. What is an explosion box? -->
An explosion box is an origami box that pops open and “explodes” as soon as the recipient takes the top (or cover) off, revealing pictures, messages, and even gifts inside.  It can be made in different sizes and layers. It is made from some basic materials (refer to question #4) and some simple origami techniques (refer to question #5), explosion boxes are surprisingly easy to put together and make. Enjoy the journey!

''*An origami is the Japanese art of folding paper into decorative shapes and figures.''
