Antique Book Collection Room Book Nook

 Antique Book Collection Room Book Nook


When I saw this booknook, I fell in love immediately. I told myself I my get it. The reason that make me get this craft for myself is this look like a cool library, with stairs in it, and the is a movable trolley on the wall which make it even more interesting. It will be more pretty if the color are less dull. At the moment this is all brown tone. 


By far this is the most difficult miniature / booknook I ever made. I make so many mistakes that make me have to undo, take out and put it back again. The instruction in the booklet are not clear enough due to the color printing too dull make me miss out 2-3 pieces that after I put in everything only I realize I have extra 2 pieces. I have no choice but to take down and put it back again.

Beside that putting the light for the table lamp is not easy to fix too. Other than that is the wall trolley that is too fragile make me broke 2 piece of them and they cant stuck in the wall. In the end I use Satay stick to replace it. Luckily the problem can be still fix and the wall trolley still able to spin around. 



Check out the details, the carving and the light make you feel you are there. 
There are more than 110 books I need to glue them together and place them accordingly. 



Putting the LED light is not that easy too. There are 5 LED light in it. The lighting in the booknook make it look so impressive even with the dull color theme.

Sweet Chapter Chocolate Shop - 3D Wooden Puzzle Book Nook

Sweet Chapter Chocolate Shop - 3D Wooden Puzzle Book Nook


My Son's Primary School Assistant headmistress got promoted to be the Headmistress. I am so happy for her. Therefore I would like to make this for her. 

I was 4 years School PIBG AJK. I help the school with some design work. We work together a lot and that is how I become close to her. Later on I finish my term because my son has graduated and she got promoted from Assistant 2 to Assistant 1 at another school. When you got promoted you need to go to work at another school. When she left, I didnt get the chance to make her a DIY craft but I manage to get her a meaningful keychain. Last month she pass her "Guru Besar" exam and finally got her dream come true as the Headmistress. Even after she left, we do keep in touch and I am so happy when she got promoted as the headmistress and she share this good news with me.


I haven't got the chance to pass this miniature to her yet. Hope she will like it.


Once the light is on, the chocolate shop become so colorful. The door can be open easily. 

The moment I started the craft, suddenly I got so excited and I can't stop. I finish it in 3 hours. Usually I take my own sweet time to play with it But this time

  
Check out the detail, there are not only chocolate, you can find some cakes too.




Here is the video. Simple and nice.

Gubei Bakery - 3D DIY Miniature Book Nook

 Gubei Bakery - 3D DIY Miniature Book Nook


I always love to explore bakery shop. It is so intesting and sweet to look at all the cakes in the shop make you want to taste all of them. 

Therefore, I make this bakery for my friend cum colleague. We only meet up once a year, during our company dinner because we both work from home.

This year we decided to have own gift exchange during the dinner and I made her this. Hope she will like it.


This bakery quite colorful. The beauty of this miniature is, beside the door, the window can be open, there is an oven inside can be open too. Check out the video to see the detail. 

Beside the oven door can be open, you can take the 4 baguette on the wall basket.



Outside of the Bakery, there is a signage and a barret serving trolley which is movable / pushable around to play with as you can see in the video.

Miniature Theatre Box : In A Happy Corner

I think 3-4 years ago I made this Miniature theatre Box. This is the smallest miniature I ever made. This will be last. I will not make this scale miniature anymore. It is too small and too torturing for my eye.

This is how it look like if the light is working.
Here is the detail and how it look like when close up.

Twilight Library – DIY Book Nook with LED Touch Lamp

 Twilight Library – DIY Book Nook with LED Touch Lamp.


I got this from TEMU. Not sure what brand is this but it look interesting and I got good discout for it, so why not give this a try.

The color is nice but the joint is not. Most of it are pretty loose and I have to glue them manually to make sure they are secure. They dont provide glue. The LED connection is not too clear but still do-able.

This is a gift for my friend for her birthda. Hope she like it. 

The overall look

      

Check out the detail. The good thing is, keep away from dust and no door can be open.
The tough part is making the chandelier.
