Quilled jewelry box

Quilling has a lot of uses. It's used to decorate birthday cards and wedding invites. It adorns photo frames and magazine stands, tea-light votives and wall art, Christmas deco and filigree eggs. There's also a wide variety of quilled and light weight paper jewelry. 

Quilling has a lot of uses especially around the house. Here I have made a three dimensional quilled jewelry box using only the 'Tight coils'. 

The top and bottles of the box are flat and the sides are built up from the edges of the bottom by overlapping each coil on each row. 

I used the square border buddy to create a handle and decorated it with a little strip of rhinestones. 

For the deco I've used one large quilled flower in dark blue to match the blue in the box. I've also added three purple three dimensional punchcraft flowers for a little pop of colour. Again all the flower centers have rhinestones to match the ones on the handle. 

Here's the top view of my quilled jewelry box. If you do try one, I'd love to see a photo of it.
