BOOK NOOK Magic Forest

 

  Hello everyone!

 

I was inspired again to create a new book nook. 

Maybe you remember the last one- Fairy Forest House,

today a secret door in a mystical forest.

How to ...tips

  • moon can be illuminated from behind with a string of wire lights, 
  • attach the moon to the rear book nook wall with spacers

Book Nook - Fairy Forest House

 

  Hello everyone!

 

I was inspired again to create a new book nook. 
Maybe you remember the last one in steampunk style. 
 
Today to the theme Enchanted forest, a little dreamy fairy house in natural style. 
 

 

 

 

 
 
How to ...tips 
 
 

 

for the lighting I added an additional wall made of cardboard, 
which was covered with wood paper and finished with cutting dies (stars)
 
 side walls were covered with scrapbooking paper, 
stencilled with butterfly motifs and 
decorated with pieces of  Leafy Frame Set #2


 

in project centre is a 3D Birdhouse, which is fixed on a birch branch as a stand
a ladder leads to it, which was created from the Old Wooden Fence #3 
 
cut out the door from chipboard remnants
 
primed with black gesso and painted with acrylics 
 
furthermore I used various naturally dried materials 
to finish the house (branches, pine cones, lichen)

DIY Book Nook with Tuto Tips - 'Steamies Adventures' Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

Some time ago I presented you my first Garden Book Nook 

created with Dusty chipboards, it was a gift for a dear gardening friend 

and was very well received. 

Building Book Nooks has become a trendy theme and you can see 

many realistic miniature worlds inspired by great book themes. 

 

I had to build my first blank myself, 

now Dusty Attic has two matching very sturdy book nooks on offer. 

They are just great and inspired me together with the new marine mechanicals 

to create a book nook of a very different kind.




 

This time I chose the maritime steampunk world as a theme and positioned my favourite seahorse, 

(lovingly known here as Steamie 😀😍)

 in 3d optic in the foreground.


 
 
I thought about installing two thread rods so that I could fix the individual parts in place.
I tried it out and it works 😀😎

A Book Nook - what is that?? with Dusty Attic

 

Welcome creative friends!

 

In simply terms it's a Book shelf insert or 

a Schaufenster im Bücherregal in german 😀.

Most of the time you see these elaborate pieces in connection

 with Harry Potter stories, beautiful and enchanting,

 but often quite expensive. 

 

I think you can do even more with these book nooks. 

I know many who have a  garden book library

 and to this theme fits these creative idea wonderful too.

You can illuminate it and it is a wonderful gift idea.

 

 

I had the courage to make the blank myself out of 3 mm MDF material.

 It has the following dimensions: 10 x 19 x 15 cm B/H/T.

You can do that, but it's easier to buy a finished blank. 

Dusty Attic doesn't have one yet, but your day may come

😏😃.

It's relatively easy to  make,

I used scrapbook paper to cover the walls, a lot of suitable chipboards, 

and a mould for the garden path.
