Cardboard or handmade cardboard is the craft technique that uses cardboard or cardboard, glue and fabric to make the pieces.
If you like crafts, work with it or produce pieces for your use, get to know the technique of carton and have a new therapy.
What is Cartonage?
Even though it has been a craft technique practiced for a long time, it is not common to hear people asking what is cartonboard.
As I said before, it is a type of handicraft obtained through the use of gray cardboard or cardboard.
Undoubtedly, the most popular and traditional piece in the carton is the book box which is the most successful in the carton group.
However, it is also possible to make a briefcase, wallet, flasks, bags, albums, binder, notepads, organizing boxes, drawers, calendar, trinket box, etc.
When it comes to decoration, with cardboard, we can make, for example, pictures and message boards, key rings.
Anyway, with a little more training and experience you can do whatever you want.
Cartonagem Pictures
Like any type of craft, it is always better to have a sense of the pieces that can be created, and with the carton it is no different. Therefore, we will see below photos of incredible pieces made with this method.
After evaluation, you can certainly identify a piece to start practicing.

Carton boxes are undoubtedly the flagship and we can use them for gifts or to organize environments.
In addition, they are so beautiful and charming that they can perfectly contribute to the decoration of any space, as is the case with decorated bottles.
The following image, for example, is a charming and delicate book box, all made using the technique. Realize that, although it is a simple piece, it is something that anyone would like to have. This specific model is suitable for babies and children.
Cardboard Notebook
When we speak of a notebook, in fact, we refer to a notebook with a decorated cover.
Therefore, we can decorate school notebook covers, diaries, notebooks, vaccination cards and much more.
Satin ribbons, Eva, and printed fabrics are the icing on the cake and make all the difference here. Even patchwork is a good option.
Observe in the image below how the technique can bring a simple notebook to life! A beautiful print, a ribbon bow and that’s it!
