This version of the clamshell box is sturdy and durable, as well as classic in its elegance. The lip allows for easy opening, while the cloth covering affixes and supports the walls for strength.
Participants will learn how to measure and assemble this cloth covered binder’s board box, while practicing a sophisticated corner covering technique.
Suitable for beginners and all experience levels.
All tools and materials will be provided; however, if you have a favorite bone/teflon folder, ruler, knife, or other tool, please feel free to bring it along.
