Four theme options include Nostalgic Shiny Noir, Earthy Eclectic Ethereal,
Bold Classic Floral Enthusiast, and Purple, Purple, Purple. (I found out purple is a whole thing!)

This kit is curated based on what I wished I had access to when I was just starting this craft. All materials are meant to be used not only for the kit books, but for future projects. (I still use these daily!)

Your artsy loved one deserves the highest quality materials when they are receiving a special gift. Yes, you can gather basic materials to learn, however this is meant to show crafters the many possibilities of materials in the craft, including unique handmade paper and comfortable materials such as pre-waxed thread, paper in the correct grain direction for folding, a cork-bottomed steel ruler, a very sharp awl,

This kit includes:

☑️ Steel Embroidery Scissors (themed color, extremely sharp)
☑️ Wood Handle Steel Pointed Awl (extremely sharp)
☑️ Westcott Steel Ruler with Cork Bottom 6"
☑️ Pointed Genuine Bone Folder 6"
☑️ Dyed Waxed Thread
☑️ Straight Bookbinder’s Needle
☑️ Materials and Instructions to Make Three Books
Two pamphlet style books with Strathmore Linen Finish 70 LB Paper
One hardcover (pre-made cover) Arches Cold Press 300 GSM Watercolor Long Stitch Book
☑️ Strips of paper from around the world (themed colors, various origins)
☑️ Instructions on binding pamphlet books with a loop stitch and a long stitch tutorial

See, I really couldn’t help it. I really wanted to make a hardcover right off the bat. I didn’t get to. You deserve to!

This Box's Theme:

Each box has the same projects and tools, but each with its own distinct personality.

Nostalgic Shiny Noir contains primarily black and shiny geometric designs inspired by art deco, nostalgic cinema, and bold geometric design. The accompanying embroidery scissors are a shiny copper color with subtle floral embellishments. Recently, I've been watching early 20th century movies and reveling in nostalgic themes.

Warning and Disclaimer: This box contains sharp materials: pointed awl, embroidery scissors, and a fairly dull needle. Recommended adult supervision and safe storage in the accompanying sheath when not in use.
