In the nineteenth century, fabrics, the more common covering used for boxes, became more available due to the industrialization of the fabric mills. Box making became part of women’s home craft/art, embroidery, needlepoint, cross-stitch, and other fabric crafts. The expanding interest in making handmade paper and bookbinding/book arts has also increased interest in Cartonnage. No experience required!
Student Supply List: Craft knife, meaning large cutting knife also known as carpet knife, and smaller Xacto cutting knives or scalpels. If possible, small scissors with fine points.
