A little library nook📚 Antique clock body with a Victorian-inspired vibe; wood, cardstock, scrapbook paper, faux plants, premade resin frames & chandelier.
I LOVE to read. And I’ve been wanting to make a tiny library of my favorite books for a while. When the perfect drawer showed up on marketplace I snatched it up!
I noodled for a while on how I wanted it to look. But then I decided to dive right in!
I painted the tray matte black and installed doors on the lower outside bays. This was for interest, plus other reasons.
In the center I built a replica of my readin’ spot.
I have so. many. more. books. to make. Luckily, they are very easy:
1. Print images of the covers and spine at your desired scale.
2. Glue the cover art to smooth cardstock and carefully cut out the cover. If the inside edges of the cardstock do not match the main color of the cover, fill in with marker.
3. Fold the covers and spine around layers of craft foam for paper and glue. You can also use folded paper with pages printed on them if you would like the books to open, but in my experience that style rarely wants to stay closed, so I only do it for things like graphic novels where the pages look more unique.
I generally read between 50 and 75 books a year. So I already have dozens of favorite books in the queue to be miniaturized. It will take me a while to fill it I’m sure, I’ll also include little oddities and tchotchkes.
This is one of those projects that’s only for my own personal joy, but I hope it brings you some too.

I have a massive book collection and I haven't even read half of them. They're literally taking over my room. I've got enough books to form a fully functioning library, and apparently I've had two copies of solitaire this whole time. Its baffling the fact that i had no clue i had one already.
im afraid i may have i classically conditioned myself. i have a space heater in my room, the kind that makes fan noise when i turn it on. i think ive come to associate that sound with being warm, because i recently got a mini fridge that also makes fan noise, and now i keep feeling hot even though its the same temperature its always been (which is usually cold for me). my fridge makes me warm. thats all backwards. damn you pavlov.
