You want to make an extension box, for the end of your ext cord right?
Why not just use a power strip?
Then get one of those small plastic tubs or even an ice cream pail
with a lid. Plug in all your things, stick the powerstrip into the
box or pail - cut a small knotch in the side for the wires and put the
cover on. Ducttape can be used to seal around the wires and hole..
You can buy a power strip for less than the box and outlets and stuff
you are trying to rig up.

I should note that I have seen OUTDOOR power strips that have a spike
that goes into the ground, specifically made for Christmas lights.
They have 6 outlets (if I recall). I think the cost was $9.99 at
Walgreens. I know this because last year after Christmas they had 50%
off all Christmas stuff and I was going to buy one of them for $5 for
when I do outdoor construction, but the cheap *******s told me that
was not a 50% off item, so I told them where to stick it.
