making a miniature bookshelf // for all the books I read in 2023

You've done a wonderful job on your miniature bookshelf, Monique! Bravo! Thanks for sharing! ~Janet in Canada 💝💝

This came out really nice. Very cute idea with the green glue stick.👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Fantastic ❤

That is a brilliant idea! Not only is it a record of what literature you consumed in any given year (I've forgotten more than I remember), it's so delightfully cute! Love it! I would fill the spaces with little elements from my favorite books (symbols or knick-knacks).

Adorable bookshelf! Keep doing this every year and keep enjoying reading and crafting 👍

This is so helpful!! Thank you ☺️

what a lovely project!

Adorable idea for a gift! Loved this❤

I love this idea, I’m definitely going to be doing this!

What a cool idea. I think I also got my best ideas when I want to make someone a present. Sadly it doesn't happen too often. Greetings from Switzerland.

Its little bit large for my Stop motion Animation but i like it ❤❤❤

You'd be better buying cheap acrylic paint from the Dollar Store etc, put some in a saucer, small plastic cup etc, add some water to dilute then you'll have the perfect colour 'wash'. Better than the stamp option as these are used to age/weather miniature papers, manuscripts etc.

I love it!!❤

I love your creativity and l'm so jealous of the ease with which you made up your mini book covers. I could watch a video just about that (hint, hint)! If you do more mini model making you might want to change up from ink pad and glue stick. You can probably buy the inks separately, and some, for instance the Tim Holtz distress ink range, are great for adding age and wear and tear. But you can also use slightly watered down acrylic paint with dry brushing, or woodstain. I'm currently obsessed with the wonderful QueenCityMinis, well worth a watch on YouTube. She's just fantastic at using everyday resources and gets amazing results. I really enjoyed your video, can't wait to see where your talent leads you.
