Handmade Boxes and Slipcases
People often think that making something as seemingly complex as a box or a slipcase is beyond their skill level. Not true! If you are careful about your initial measurements (use my worksheets!) then your handmade boxes and slipcases should turn out perfectly!
Hardbound Explosion Box
While technically neither a book nor a box, the explosion box lends itself to many creative uses, including containing book-like elements. This particular version is made with bookboard and is much more substantial and sophisticated than the usual cardstock explosion box.
Slipcase
A slipcase is a classy and classic way to protect your handmade books.
Clamshell Box
This neat little folding box makes a great container for a special book or set of books. It’s also perfect as a portfolio box, holding separate images. The fact that one side is completely open once you open it up makes it very easy to get items in and out.
Traditional Hardcase Portfolio
You can use this classic folio for a wide variety of tasks, from holding drawings and prints, showing off at a job interview or holding your wedding vows during your wedding ceremony!
Hardbound Portfolio Case
Make a more sophisticated version of the traditional portfolio cover. This is a great additional way to show off your creativity when showing off your portfolio.
