So many possibilities to use this box! Maybe you will like it for your sewing/embroidery supplies, or for arts supplies, or as a jewelry box..... so many wonderful options, including your grandkids toys....

I'm Claudia Squio - founder of ColorWay Arts and host of this amazing in-person Cartonnage Retreat. 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.
