+As promised here is the cube.

+
+You might wonder how to construct such an object yourself. 
+
+What ended up working for me was laying out a bottom row of QTips with a width just slightly longer than the length of the QTips' shaft.
+

+
+Continue alternating the direction in which you align the QTips until you have stacked enough layers to be slightly higher than the length of the QTips' shaft.
+
+It is very important that the grid is aligned well at this point, as you will begin inserting QTips downward through each opening in the formed grid.
+
+I started with the 4 outer corners, then filled the outer edges, then filled the center. 
+
+If all goes well, you will have a lovely cube which is fairly sturdy.
