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 300 GSM Cold Press 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.

Bold Classic Floral Enthusiast pieces of real Japanese printed paper, Nepalese printed paper, and florals. I collect papers with many floral styles, and while Chiyogami and traditional prints from across Asia can be quite bold compared to my current work, it’s hard not to try and collect such gorgeous, delicious to hold paper. The accompanying stylized embroidery scissors are silver with subtle floral embellishments. This theme is very floral forward and quite bold.

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.
