Book Nook DIY - Miniature Books for the Nooks in Your Nook

[@Artenur]

*I LOVE making BOOK NOOK with LOTS of MINIATURES, LIGHTS, MIRRORS and sharing the tutorials! they are MAGICAL CRAFTS*

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

The possibilities are truly endless! Cheers!

[@Artenur]

@@RandomMakingEncounters Yessssss 😍

[@jvanputten9669]

Running a series of oneshot in candlekeep mysteries... oh boy will I make a lot of these

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Once you get started you can really crank 'em out. All the best with your campaign and creating! Cheers!

[@Kurisiti]

I just want to thank you so very much for taking the time to put this tutorial together; not only do you show all the materials you used, but you even took the time to explain why you were doing what you were doing. I have been through so many tutorials that don't even explain why you are doing a certain step. So thank you again good sir!

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

You're very welcome. It's tough knowing the right balance between showing and explaining. I watch a lot of KZbin and I think there are two styles... watch me make a cool thing... let me talk you through how you can make a thing. Both can be entertaining but I always want to know how they do it so I can go and try to replicate it in my own projects. I'm a maker by nature and I want to hopefully inspire others to realize we all can be makers. Cheers!

Спасибо за урок!!!

[@ClaudiaMcNeely]

This is the best technique I have seen. I love the way you shaped the spine. It's nice to see someone who makes as big of a mess with glue as I do. lol!

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Right?! It's particularly tough when it's Super Glue. I always have a bottle of de-bonder handy! I can't claim credit for the technique. I came across it on the interwebs but it works out really well. I've simplified the page construction a bit but would need to give it a rethink for books that are open. I still like the "signatures" approach but would need to glue 'em a bit differently. Thanks for watching!

[@ClaudiaMcNeely]

I do my best NOT to use super glue. I recently made some open books. I made individual pages, stacked them, put glue on the spine fanning them to make sure it got into all the pieces to hold them. It worked well.

[@kimcissell2290]

Great tutorial. Can't wait to do this myself.

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Awesome! If ya get a little assembly line going you can really crank 'em out. Have fun and all the best!

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thanks! I'm working on a book nook and need a bunch of mini paper stacks so I think I may have come up with a way to easily make/fake the "pages" quickly... maybe... we'll see. Maybe I'll post up a short to get that out! Cheers!

[@andreasdesigns]

I loved the dry addition of things you do like glue on your fingers then sticking onto things. The process of making the books looks interesting and easy to do. Thanks for sharing.

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

It's even worse with super glue. You know you have a problem when you need to keep a bottle of de-bonder handy! Thanks for watching! All the best.

[@mastersadvocate]

Cool! I love making tiny books! Your tutorial is easy to follow, and not too technical! Thanks for sharing this! ~Janet in Canada

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Nice! I'm glad it was helpful. There are some good tutorials this was based on but I kinda skipped a bunch of steps to make it a little easier. Many of the other books will actually open which takes more care. Have fun!

[@shadowweaver7626]

I'm loving all of your tutorials. Very helpful information.

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Awesome! Happy to hear that. It's been a while between videos. I have a couple of things in the hopper... actually more than a couple (part of the problem). Feedback like yours keeps me moving forward! All the best.

[@conniecollins6506]

Just found you channel. Love it. Subscribed

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thanks! I've been sidetracked on "non-diorama" projects but it's a new year! All the best!

[@teresaklaiber8616]

would love a copy of the "ruler" with the human scale on it

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Let me see what I can do. It's a completely random scale that I made up for a project but I think it would be good to make a ruler or rulers in a few different scales. It's a really handy thing to have just for quick little scale checks to make sure things are too outta whack.

[@jeffreyritter2279]

So wonderful teaching!! So excited to begin

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

I'm glad you found it helpful. It's built on ideas from others with a bit of a "how can I do it a bit faster with a little cheating" twist. Thanks for the comment and have fun with your project! Cheers!

[@Ojas075]

Your tutorials are amazing have a happy new year! 🥳🥳🥳

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thanks! Right back at ya! Here's to a better and creative 2022! All the best.

[@ashleydavis7165]

So much detail it’s awesome

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thanks! I tend to not like things that are too fiddly and this is a nice in-between. It's really a lazy version of some other tutorials I found out there :)

[@karenm2091]

Fabulous! Thank you.

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Sorry for the slow reply. You bet! These were fun! Cheers!

[@Ernzt8]

Great tutorial! Thanks

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thank you! I appreciate that! I think I need to do more of these quick little vids while I work on the big pan-galactic ones. All the best!!

[@mammycher8895]

The cutest! 😄

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

They’re really fun to make which is good because you never need just one book! Thanks for watching!

[@aquela_dani]

Where can I find those scales you are using? Your work is amazing!

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thank you for the kind words. Here’s a link to my site where you can download some different scales I whipped up - randommakingencounters.com/how-to-scale-models/ Cheers!

[@neonGawdzilla]

Hello! Where did you get that scale? I've been searching for something like that for ages.

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

I actually made it myself. Since it’s not a normal architectural scale I kinda just winged it. Is there a particular size you were looking for?

[@adelia988]

Is there anywhere I can print your scale graph thing please?

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Let me put together some different versions and post them to my blog. I'll reply reply with a link when they're ready.

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Here you go. There's a bit of a blog-like post but I've also included a link to a PDF that has a few different scales you can print out - randommakingencounters.com/how-to-scale-models/

[@barbarakozlowski6988]

Brilliant.

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thanks. It's not my idea... but I did swizzle a bit... mostly cuz I can be a bit lazy :) All the best.

[@a-gatavictoria8850]

excelente vídeo! tentarei fazer!

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thank you! I appreciate it.

[@yassersawaf3235]

This is amazing … can I ask if u don’t mind the printed ruler for the humane size where I can find it ???

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Thanks for watching! I actually just made it myself. The scale is not a common one so I found some free ruler clip art and the outline of a person and scaled them in Adobe Illustrator. I've had a request for a quick video on how to make scale rulers. May make that one a short!

[@kathyb-007]

Gosh can we get any smaller, lol. Soooooooo tiny!

[@RandomMakingEncounters]

Right!?! I’m sure it can be done… just not with my eyes!! All the best.
