Paper Chains & Garlands is here!

Okay, you know you’re too busy when you forget that your first book was released 2 days ago and miss doing a post on the release date…

My papercraft book and kit, Paper Chains & Garlands, is now here! It’s available to purchase exclusively through Barnes and Noble.

I was hoping that I’d be able to sell signed copies through my site, but it turns out that the shipping costs for me to receive author copies from the US make that an impossible dream. So, instead, if you’d like to buy my book, I’d be very grateful if you’d click through from the links on my site, so I can make a tiny commission from your purchase!

For those of you without a magnifying glass, the back of the box reads:

Paper chains and garlands make everything more festive! Turn your next celebration into a creatively crafted occation to remember. Create delightful decorations on themes that range from the seasonal (snowflakes, autumn leaves, cherry blossoms) to the decorative (pleated flowers, pinwheels, elephants). The illustrated instruction book by expert crafter June Gilbank shows you how to fold, cut, unfurl, and string chains and garlands like a pro. With tips on how to cut simple paper dolls as well as elegant Chinese lanterns, Paper Chains and Garlands is the perfect craft kit for expert crafters as well as beginners.

    Jackie, it’s available to purchase exclusively through Barnes and Noble. They do ship to the UK (worldwide, actually) but unfortunately the shipping costs are pretty high if you’re outside the US :(

    I was hoping I’d be able to sell copies myself but it turns out the cost of having them shipped to me in Canada in the first place makes it too expensive for me to. So I’m sorry I can’t help – Barnes and Noble online is the only option for buying my book, unless you feel like a trip to the US!

    This book/kit looks wonderful!!! I went to the link to order, however, and wasn’t able to order! I called our B & N and they are out of it. Any suggestions? I actually think I want to buy two, one for me and one for my little girl!
