Youth Maker Monday: Go Krazy with Kraft-Tex (Ages 8-12)

Make a wallet out of Kraft-Tex, a paper product that acts like leather and comes in gorgeous colors.

About this Class

Kraft-Tex is made from paper, but it behaves like leather. Learn how to cut, fold, sew, and glue this material with several tools in the Fiber Studio, including our rivet and grommet press. Start by making an easy Kraft-Tex tray using glue and rivets. Then practice precise folding and sewing to make a cute Kraft-Tex box with a lid—maybe decorate it with a fancy button. Finally, put several skills together to make a folding wallet for safely carrying ID cards and bills.
