What is the Fabric Box Making Week?

I will tell you in a minute, but first, you may be asking: What is Cartonnage?
It’s “the art of box making”, and it’s a lovely technique originated in France – long ago! It has been revived around the World in the latest years because it’s a great and fun way of creating unique decorative and functional projects.

Making unique cartonnage boxes and other projects has become more than a passion — it's a wonderful part of my life's journey! As a proud author of "Cartonnage Basics & Beyond," I've mastered the art of fabric box making, combining the delicate texture and colors of fabric into functional arts without the need of a single stitch. The magic of cartonnage is in transforming ordinary materials into extraordinary creations, and I find the process of gluing fabric to be a deeply relaxing and fulfilling art form that allows us to create unique memorable gifts!

 Teaching is where my heart truly lies - there's incredible joy in sharing cartonnage with enthusiasts, fabric/paper lovers around the globe. Through my work, I have the privilege of guiding thousands of students both locally and online and creating a community of crafters within my Cartonnage Club. As a Brazilian-American in Michigan, I continue to share my passion for crafting with the support of my loving family. Together, we celebrate the limitless possibilities that a piece of fabric, a dab of glue, and a spark of creativity can bring.
