Book nooks are a rather new trend in the miniature world, but what an amazing trend, don’t you agree? While you could try to make one of your own, I did find the best book nook kits on Etsy, in my opinion 😉
Table of Contents
As I said before, Etsy is thé place for handmade craftsmanship and unique pieces or even customs if the artist wants to do that.
I really, really hope there’s going to be more and more people making these types of DIY kits, and more people will be setting up a book nook store.
Let’s take a look at 6 shops that I think stand out here.
Updated 05/12/23
Book Nook Kit Store Number 1: SeasideMiniatures
This store has all kinds of unusual kits, finished scale models, miniature accessories, and more.
Some more info about this shop.
In this store you will find some unique kits on all kinds of scales:
1:12 kits (mostly caravans and beach huts)
1:24 kits
1:48 kits (also finished items)
book nook kits
and even a 1:35 caravan kit
miniature accessories, and more..
Everything seems laser cut and has original designs.
June Booknooks is definitely on my favorites list! Although there doesn’t seem to be a lot of book nooks in her Etsy store, she does create a lot of them, they just sell out quite quickly haha!
If you would like to see all of her creations, be sure to check out her Instagram page!
Some more info about this shop.
Beware though, that these are finished book nooks and not kits. So forgive me for including these, but I got a bit enthusiastic about showing you these wonderful creations haha!
And you might get some inspiration from them.
materials used: chipboard, resin, plastic, glass, wire, paper
items are lit by miniature LED lights and a lithium-ion battery pack.
uses mirrors to create the illusion of deeper spaces
Junes Book nooks are a work of art and they are highly in demand. Her latest creations show book nooks that look like a real book on the outside, but on the inside, it is a little library! Did I say yet how much I love these?
Go check out her store and Instagram page to see what I mean! Each book nook took her 14 to 20 hours to make.
Sadly when I contacted her, I couldn’t get a personal interview with her 🙁
Junes Book Nooks is a star seller, which means that she gets raving reviews
carefully packed
smooth shipping
great customer service
The Bad.
No custom requests
North American shipment only
Final Conclusion.
It may look like she is only making 1 piece of book nooks on Etsy, but that is not the case at all, she makes several, plus other miniatures. Love this!
Personalized, laser-engraved music boxes, earrings, puzzles, and of course book nooks. Everything seems laser-cut or engraved and I think that’s pretty!
Some more info about this shop.
There are over 22 book nook kits, 2 of these are just the basics where you can add your own piece of art.
And then the last, but not least book nook store is this one.
Book nook DIY kits and other art.
Some more info about this shop.
This store is selling book nook themes from Sherlock Holmes, Les Misérables, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Wizard dual, a jungle scene, and more.
They are all laser cut from Baltic Birch Plywood.
Included are all of the elements that you see in the finished example, including wood pieces, 3d printed details, miniatures, paper, and a lighting kit.
Some extra’s that you need to buy are: duct or painter’s tape, wood glue, and 3 AA batteries.
In this section, we will go over a few FAQs on book nooks from people worldwide.
Why are book nooks so expensive?
As with everything trendy and much bought, this raises prices in general in the economy.
But the biggest reason why book nooks can get expensive is definitely that most of them are laser cut.
This latter means that the laser cutting machinery bought to create these kits is quite expensive and so are the materials used for it. Which is a lot of money for small businesses!
What are book nooks used for?
Well, book nooks are used as decoration for your bookshelf 😉 This is why they are also called book nook shelf inserts and they can surprise your visitors seeing them between your books!
What kind of glue is used for book nook kits?
You can use regular wood glue, but I tend to use fast-grab tacky glue by Aleene for almost everything.
What can I make a book nook out of?
Most book nooks are made from laser-cut wood, but there are some miniature artists creating these from scratch by cutting out their own wooden pieces with power tools.
My final Conclusion :
