Kai no kuchi - Christmas ornament or gift box. Made ITH very quickly , although it needs to be finished by hand.
Just squeeze the ends to open.

Kai No Kuchi means Shell's Mouth in Japanese. It is a Japanese traditional handicraft for storing little things, especially great for storing your favorite jewelry. It's is a great design Sue! Hugs, Yoriko

Thanks, and also for the translation,Yoriko!
I used to do something similar by hand and put thin cardboard in the parts. Much easier to do it your way!

This is great. Does it use the measuring tape to close?

No - it is done by the shape and the stiffening in the panels.

This is so pretty. I should make some to hold the rings I never seem to wear anymore.
