Calculating the greyboard dimensions of a box can sometimes feel like doing maths!
But once you know how it works to calculate the dimensions of a box, it's not that difficult.
In this tutorial I'm going to show you how you calculate the dimensions of a box with fitted lid by using formulas.

I loved every part of the course from The Cartonnerie!
From when the supplies arrived, packed so beautifully and then to follow the instructions that were so easy to understand - and the end result is just gorgeous.
I love my box and will definitely keep making them.

I ordered all courses from The Cartonnerie. The journey in learning these new skills has been absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend it. The video and picture pdf guide were a perfect bundle to guide a course taker through the entire project. They were clear, concise and easy to understand. The final products look beautiful! Being able to give a touch of elegance/luxury, and overall elevate my simple wedding stationery and pictures made a remarkable difference. I am looking forward to taking more courses with Sabrine and The Cartonnerie!

Sabrine's course is fantastic! I was hesitant to invest the money into something I felt I could figure out on my own but I'm glad I made the purchase. Her instructions are detailed and the video is soothing to watch. I've made several of the hinged boxes and they turn out beautiful due to her course.
I hope to purchase additional courses in the future.
