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.

    I would really like to buy your book but BN no longer has it. Can I buy it some other way?
    Thanks,
    Cheryl

      Cheryl, I’m afraid it was available exclusively through BN and it’s been out of print for years now – I have no idea why they decided not to reprint it; I know it sold well! I’m sorry I can’t help 🙁

    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!
