DIY Cardboard Box Fireplace

Sometimes I go Christmas shopping

Sometimes I go Christmas shopping for myself.

Sometimes I go Christmas shopping for myself then come home, wrap them up, put them under the tree and open those suckers up on Christmas morning and get really excited…even though I’m fully aware of what’s inside.

So, here’s my suggestion for you. Order yourself a Cricut Explore, wrap that baby up in some pretty paper, slap a bow on it and gift it to yourself on Christmas morning. But before your wrap it up, maybe just maybe you should use it …just one time…to craft up the most epic of cardboard box fireplaces.

For years, I’ve seen cute DIY cardboard box fireplace, but none of them have been pink and none of them have used the Cricut Explore. Let’s change that. This cardboard fireplace is the perfect weekend activity for you and your kids – and the beauty is that it’s made purely from paper and cardboard! Let’s get started:

How to make a Cardboard Box Fireplace

I started with a large box from the Container Store…

Measure and cut out the center of the lower portion of the cardboard box.

Now time to lay some “bricks” I cut 3×6″ rectangles from pink cardstock and adhered them to the front of the cardboard box.

DIY Cardboard Box Fireplace | damask loveMake a mantle by taping together two long rectangular boxes (I used two 24 x 14 x 4 boxes) and covering them with wrapping paper.

See how easy that was!? Your cardboard fireplace is done and now it’s time to whip out that Cricut Explore to create all the paper decorations you need to bring it to life.

First up, every mantle needs stockings – so you can create your own with THIS Design Space project.

    It’s important to remember that “bandar slot” or online slot agents often operate in unregulated spaces. While the allure of quick wins is strong, these platforms can pose significant financial risks and lack player protections. Always prioritize responsible gambling practices and choose licensed, reputable operators if you choose to participate. bandar slot

    80g registration legal and administrative tips said:

    The Indian ngo’s should first obtain 12a certification before they need to make their organizational bylaws compliant with their nonprofit mission to provide relief and educational services. The organization should submit Form 10AC through the online platform using their PAN and ngo-Darpan information together with their auditing documents from the past three years which show 85% spending and their trustee information. The system requires users to complete verification through either DSC or EVC methods while they need to monitor CIT approval which takes between three to six months. The administrative work requires CA experts to assess documents which results in 60 percent rejection rates. The legal framework limits administrative expenses to 15 percent which enables organizations to receive between 50 percent and 100 percent of their donations together with their corporate social responsibility funding. The organization needs to complete 10AB renewal process every five years.
