The Art of Cartonnage! Kiss Lock Fabric Box Kit #197 (small) #196 (Medium)
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 – Kiss Lock Fabric Box small or medium. This is an intermediate kit that you will want to make for yourself, grandkids, and friends. The Kiss Lock Box is a finished size of 4 x 3 x 31/8 inches (small) and the medium is 7 x 41/4 x 4 inches. These sweet little boxes have the old fashion Kiss lock closure. They “snap” when you close them. They are darling for storing special notes, objects, or keepsakes. They would be cute and functional on a bathroom vanity as well.
The kits will be in the store to purchase for the box. The cost of this is not part of the Class Fee. This DIY Cartonnage kit comes with all the cardboard you need to make your project. 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 4 x 4. It is so fun to customize the fabric to fit any décor and personality. This box is very fun to make! You will want to make more than just one!!
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. The instructions can be printed on paper or downloaded to a device. These can then be brought to class if you wish.
If you do not want your own personal instructions during class, we will have this kit waiting for you to be purchased the morning of class. The kit fee is not included in the class fee. All participants must purchase a kit to be used in class.
* We have no control over the color of the metal for the Kiss Lock. It may be brass or gun metal.
When you come to your class - bring the following:
- 2 fat quarters fabric or more if you want more variety in your project
- snips
- scissors
- 3x12 ruler
- heavy book to weigh down your project
- rotary cutter
- cutting mat - Can be a smaller one - 12x18
Fabrics that you will want to avoid for this project are directional fabrics and fabrics that could bleed. If you are worried about bleeding, wash and dry your fabric first. Do not use Kona Fabrics either to get a successful outcome. Another fabric to avoid is a light colored = plain fabric. These fabrics tend to allow for a glue spot. Using grunge or another blender is a great substitute for solid fabric.
We like having 4 students enrolled in the class to move forward but do make exceptions depending on the class. But come and join in. This is a great new way to use fabric and you don't need a machine.
When you arrive for your class, please be prepared to park on the east side of the building. If you are impaired, please know you can park on the front of the building towards the east end. If you must cancel your class after signup, please call the store and we will refund your fee in the form of a credit to your account.
If your class is going to go across lunch, no lunch will be provided for this class. We do have a fridge available for your use as well as a microwave for warming items. You also can run to Casey’s to grab something from there. The Casey’s in Hudson is approximately 10 blocks away. If you bring a drink with you, it must be in a sealed, closable slide container. No Casey’s cups or other fast food cups. Thank you for your understanding in this matter.
