Creating a Fortnite Chest: A Step-by-Step Guide

We're going to make this chest using cardboard boxes, corrugated cardboard, and hot glue. We need them to be really well pasted and stable otherwise the mechanism won't work. And you know how it is, we have to do the same thing on the other side. If you want, you can reinforce it onto top to make it more secure.

We're going to take the inside part and roll it in about 8 or 10 times maybe more. It has to feel tense and it should make this noise. Finished, it works perfectly! Now, we're going to stick it on the chest I'm going to put it on the front part and place it on the edge can you see? It has to be straight. Paste it there using our reliable, and best friend (in this tutorial) the hot glue.

We're going to use a cardboard strip, put it on the side, pressing on the black part and we're going to mark down the border of the box. We're going to do the same thing on the other side and we're going to cut these out. We're going to paste these pieces with a little bit almost nothing of hot glue on the bottom part of our box making sure that the shape is like the one we drew with the box. Paste it. Remember, it's almost nothing of hot glue because we want to be able to rip it out.

One on each side. Once they are stand and still close it carefully and we're going to paste the top part. Here I'm testing out it's fine and when I'm sure that it's going to work we'll add the hot glue and paste it. Perfect! When you feel like this has pasted, remember this takes a while to cool off we're going to separate both pieces very carefully.

And that's it. We need these bumps so that the explosion doesn't occur when the box is closed. Ready! We have finished the box! The next thing to do are the decorations or the details which make it look special. Make this lock using the same corrugated cardboard only painted gray and this black one to give it a depth effect and make it seem like you can stick a key in.

Also, we're going to use velcro I'm going to use black so it matches and we're going to place this velcro on the bottom part of the lock. Right here. Look it should look like this. We're going to take this to the box and we're going to paste it on the part where there isn't velcro, can you see? Right above here.

We're going to paste it on the top part of the chest which is going to be the lid. We'll paste it with a lot of hot glue because if not then it'll come off. And now we're going to make this close. To close it we need to rotate our mechanism about 8 to 10 times maybe more It has to be pretty tense.

Then these things above that are sort of round we're going to push them inside pull the lid check that the vertical borders we did are holding the black part with the rubber band. Now we're going to add hot glue to the velcro and we're going to close it up. This is how we make sure that the box is well closed but that it works, as well.

And now we're going to decorate the rest I'm going to add the side parts which are also made of metal. Here I'm going to make this ironwork end up with the shape of the box so I'm going to paste it like this. And I'm also going to paste another one underneath. This is because since the box is crook it'll give it a better finish rather than if we did it straight.

Look at this cutie! We still needs some details which we're going to work on. Finished! This is how our perfect Fortnite chest turned out. Now it's time to add the gift And if you have a gamer boyfriend, you can give him some really cool headphones. I'm also going to add a hard drive disc because, I don't know, I think storing all of your memories is important.

A mini Samurai and chocolates because we all love chocolates. Give it a like if you do too. Now we're going to prepare the mechanism we'll rotate it until it's tense and we'll add the confetti. Attention! The confetti you have to use should be made out of tissue paper and in very small squares otherwise the explosion won't look as cool.

We'll close up our box and that's it. You can give it away now! And expect an explosion when you open it! Doesn't it look incredible? Tell me in the comments section, would you like someone to give you something like this?
