The Art of Cartonnage! Bella and Wally Wooden Bunny (Beginner class)

Cartonnage is the amazing "art of box making" that is SO fun and relaxing. This is a NO-SEWING required project and you can make amazing fabric boxes, cases and so much more!

If you are not into Quilt making or Embroidery but just love fabric, this is a technique that you must try.    With a few supplies and the guidance of Barb, in no time, you will be creating and enjoying a no-sewing way to create unique pieces for your home or gift giving.   Drop in to the store today to see a couple of projects to see what Cartonnage is.    We are very excited to bring this technique to the store!   It is not your normal quilting project!

This class will cover the project – Bella and Wally (Small or large) Wooden Bunnies kits. You may choose the kit and size you wish to make.  This is a beginner kit that you will create into a one of a kind spring decoration.  The large bunny finished size of about 9 3/4” x 5 3/4‘x 1 1/4 in. The small bunny finishes at about 7” x 5”x 1 1/4in. These bunnies create an adorable spring vibe in any room.  Make them for Easter baskets, put them on the family room mantle, or set them on your desk for a sweet touch of spring. 

Personal instructions are not necessary for class.  If you would like your own copy of the instructions during class, please stop by the shop and purchase your  kit before class.  Follow the instructions inside your kit to access the instructions on the Colorway Arts web site.
