We know that cartonnage is one of the pending subjects of many people and sometimes, it takes a little precision and patience to get the results we want. Today, it's time to introduce you to a product that will help you a lot when it comes to making your cardboard projects. It will allow you to work more easily and much more quickly; we are talking about our Corner Assembly Clamps. This is a product that you have been asking us for a lot since we launched our Bookbinding Ruler Set. We can finally now present to you after many months of researching what was the best way to bring you this product, about what material to use so that it would last and withstand all our projects until, in the end, we found the perfect formula. Eight corner pieces that will make our life much easier.
Many of you are probably asking this question. And when you find out what they are for, you're going to love them, as these little pieces will save us a lot of time when we create our cartonnage projects. The Coner Assembly Clamps are used to securely hold everything in place while we are making our structures. They help us to hold the structure in place while we wait for the adhesive to take effect. This makes it much easier to carry out any type of project. You already know that box-making gives us total freedom to carry out a wide range of projects, and now, with our Corner Assembly Clamps, it is an activity that has never been so easy. We are talking about projects as stunning as this one by @scrapeando_ilusion:
In our pack, you will find eight squares that will help you to make the four corners of a box. You will also see that there are two different types of corner pieces, one to be placed on the upper part of the structure and the other on the lower part. The difference between these two corner pieces is that the bottom corner pieces include a small base that will help to maintain our structure upright, making the work much easier.
The corner pieces have three notches, where our cardboard will be placed. And why three notches? Well, for greater versatility when working. Each notch has a different width, so we can use them with different thicknesses of cardboard: 1.5 mm, 2 mm or 3 mm.
Also, we have included a free drawstring pouch, so that you can keep there the corner pieces and never lose any of them. This way, we will always have our eight corner protectors well located.
2. Repeat this process with the next corner. Add glue to the edges, join them together and secure the cardboard with two corner pieces. You will see that this process is very easy as the corner pieces will hold everything in place, and you can work more comfortably.
3. Repeat the process with the rest of the corners.
4. Let the glue take effect and let it dry for a few minutes. With these corner clamps you don't have to worry about having to hold everything in place. Just let the corner pieces do their job.
And that's it, that's how simple it is to use them. Easy, quick, useful... Corner Assembly Clamps are our best friend when it comes to making cartonnage!

How to use the Cardboard Corner Bands?
It's very easy! Here is a step-by-step explanation: 1. Once you have cut our cardboard into the desired size, it's time to make the structure of the first corner. We place two of the cartons forming a 90Āŗ angle, apply glue on the edges (we recommend you using our Tacky Glue or our Card-Making Glue, perfect for this kind of project). We place two of the cartons forming a 90Āŗ angle, we apply glue on the edge (we recommend you to use our Tacky Glue or our Cardboard Glue which are perfect for this kind of projects) and place a clamp at one end and another corner at the opposite end, so that by letting go of the newly assembled structure, it won't come undone.
2. Repeat this process with the next corner. Add glue to the edges, join them together and secure the cardboard with two corner pieces. You will see that this process is very easy as the corner pieces will hold everything in place, and you can work more comfortably.
3. Repeat the process with the rest of the corners.
4. Let the glue take effect and let it dry for a few minutes. With these corner clamps you don't have to worry about having to hold everything in place. Just let the corner pieces do their job.
And that's it, that's how simple it is to use them. Easy, quick, useful... Corner Assembly Clamps are our best friend when it comes to making cartonnage!
