About this Workshop:
Learn to make trays and boxes … for the fun of it! If you enjoyed the original, you’ll love this bigger, more practical version of the Bijou Box. In this class, students will learn from a kit while exploring the basic principles of box making. Whether you’ve taken the original Bijou box class or this is your first box making class, you’ll enjoy covering the box and its parts with decorative paper to make it your own. Each box is unique and one-of-a-kind gift—perfect to keep small treasures or share as a gift with friends.
Level: Beginner – no experience necessary!
Registration extended to April 17, 2026 and all materials are provided.
