THE KEEPSAKE COLLECTION
This course was recorded in the 2023 Online Cartonnage Retreat and this Keepsake box is multi-use. It can be an amazing box, or an album, or a book for memories (the wine box is amazing!), an art display for supplies and notions and much more....
All of this, having lots of fun and feeling proud of your creations.
HANDMADE BY YOU
Every Cartonnage project is more than just a box!
It's a piece of love, memories, and an
expression of your affection.
This project is a great opportunity to start using your beautiful stash of fabrics in a different way, creating an amazing fabric box and surprise your loved ones with one-of-a-kind handmade gift!
START WITH DIY KITS
You can start from the scratch preparing all your cardboard pieces to make the box, OR (most recommended) you can start from DIY kits with all cardboard pieces already pre-cut in the sizes required. Fabric is NOT included in the kits, you will use your favorite fat quarters!

Meet Claudia
I'm Claudia Squio - founder of ColorWay Arts and the teacher here. I've been designing and making cartonnage boxes and other projects for a while, and it feels like forever!
I'm the author of the Book Cartonnage Basics & Beyond - the complete guide for fabric box making.
I have a real passion for crafts, especially fabric related, I love the texture, the combinations, but I was never good at sewing (don't tell anyone!), so I found gluing fabric relaxing and wonderful.
And, most of all, I LOVE teaching and sharing this amazing technique with thousands of fabric/paper lovers through my local and online classes and my Cartonnage Club.
I'm a Brazilian-American living in Michigan with my wonderful supportive family - husband and two kids.
HAPPY GLUYING!
LOVE, Claudia
Explore your creativity with Cartonnage in the comfort of your own home!
Have fun gluing & making amazing fabric boxes and gifts with no sewing!
