Fabric treasure chest DIY kit, cartonnage kit 154, exclusive book kit

Making your own fabric covered box it’s so fun and the final boxes are unique handmade gifts! You can make your own fabric boxes, cases and much more out of paperboard, fabric and glue with this lovely cartonnage technique!! And your pieces will be sturdy as wood, but made with your favorite fabric!

This DIY cartonnage Kit comes with all cardboard you need to make your own fabric treasure chest with dividers and tray, as shown in the pictures. The pieces of paper (chipboard and poster board) are precut in the right sizes you need for this project. The finished box will be 8 1/4″ x 6 1/2″ x 4″. With this DIY kit there is no worries about cutting paper. The chipboard used in this kit is 100 point (0.1 in) thick, extra heavy, so this box will be very sturdy and well finished! Metal clasp included. Fabric and other contents showed in pictures are not included.

THIS IS A EXCLUSIVE BOOK KIT! All instructions are included in the book “Cartonnage Basics & Beyond – The complete guide for fabric box making” written by me,  Claudia Squio. Click here to find the book.

For making the box you will need this kit, two coordinating fabrics (3/4 yard each), white PVA glue (Glue All – Elmer’s), rotary cutter, cutting board, a small paint roller with tray, paint brush, masking tape, scissor, paper awl. 

Cartonnage tools (spatula, acrylic spacers and corner tool) will facilitate the process and give a better finishing for your project. Find them in the tools section of the shop.
