These lovely gift "bag-boxes" are the perfect wrapping for gifts such as homemade cookies, fudge, jewelry, potpourri, handkerchiefs, sachets or any small treasure. Each box is approximately 4 inches wide, by 5 inches tall and 2 inches deep. Use colored tulle instead of tissue paper to complement the airy feel of the quilled design. These keepsake boxes will be treasured long after their contents have been used. You can put an arrangement of silk or dried flowers in them to create a charming display, or use them to store small treasures such as rice bags from your wedding, ticket stubs from a first date, or even your new baby's hospital band. At a bridal or baby shower, you can have each guest write a short message to the bride/mother to be on a piece of parchment paper. Roll each note up and tie with a ribbon, and place them in one of the keepsake boxes for the guest of honor to cherish.
