(You only pay shipping on this kit that includes all the cardboard and hardware needed to make it - over 2 pounds of fun waiting for you! Fabrics not included - use your own favorite ones)

This box allows you to have fun choosing your fabrics and placing them in so many different parts. Picking your fabrics is a great part of the fun!
Very functional box!
With a tray, a large drawer and two other drawers, this box is so fun to build, and also very functional to use! Perfect for sewing notions, threads, art supplies, jewelry, make up and whatever else you decide to use it for. It will be also a great gift and a box your grandkids will love to receive!

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.
