How To Work With Cardboard. I am very pleased today to bring you a tutorial on how to work with my favorite-est crafting material of all: I've been working with cardboard even longer than I've been sewing and working with fabric.

Whenever we had access to cardboard, which wasn't as often as I wished, and certainly nowhere as often as I have now, I was practically in heaven. Because I never had formal cardboard-builing lessons or read any books on how to work with cardboard, I imagined that everyone else also just winged it with cardboard. So today I am happy to share with you as much as I know about cardboard. First, though - lest you think I'm any good at it - let me show you some real cardboard art - here, here, and here.
