JOANN HACKS:

• To make a larger pillbox, just cut a larger circle and longer rectangle
• Pick satin and lace that has some stretch to it, this makes it easier to get a smooth layer when covering the paperboard
• To add more volume with tulle, cut the rectangle longer or wider and follow directions
