DT work - Chevrons - Challenge #42

Dear IQCG fans,

Today I am here to present my DT work on this month's challenge #42 "CHEVRONS"
Please find the challenge image and the link to the challenge blog post below.

My work :

A paper lantern in chevron pattern using 7 mm quilling strips is what I have created as my DT work.
The chevron patterns are created using 4 strips in each. The strips are placed perpendicular to each other and braided /weaved in a way to form the chevrons. They are then placed against each other and glued to a ball shape and a quilled dome is placed at the top to which a thread is tied for hanging the lantern anywhere needed. A small battery light can also be added in the center part inside , as a pleasant evening decoration, for parties and events too, if you wish.

Hope you all like this work of mine for the current challenge of IQCG.
Looking forward to see all your entries.
Cheers,
Aparna Balakrishnan(DT)
