 / Bubbalux Tutorial - Craft Caddy

Tutorial by Sharon Callis
​
​
​

Skill Level: Medium

Time to Make: approx 2.5 hours 

The needle on my sewing machine went through the Bubbalux sheet like a knife through butter!

Did you know that Bubbalux can be used for sewing projects? Not only for creating fabulous displays, but for making durable storage items too! 

 

This craft storage caddy can be put together by either machine sewing or gluing. Whichever way you choose, the finished item looks great and is tough enough to keep your craft kit organised for a long time.

Supplies: 

4 sheets Bubbalux - standard size, Daffodil Yellow

A4 Teresa Collins Herringbone Embossing Folder

2 metres of Bias Binding

Polka dot ribbon

​

Follow the photo instructions below to make this bright and beautiful craft storage caddy.
