Thé 6 Best Book Nooks Kit Stores Are Found On Etsy!

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 😉

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 to stand out here.

 

Book Nook Kit Store Number 1: SeasideMiniatures


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.

The good and the bad :

The Good.

  • these are original book nook kits that you won’t find elsewhere
  • I find the prices very affordable
  • laser cut means good general quality and easy to assemble
  • this store has smooth shipping and great customer service

The Bad.

  • doesn’t accept returns
  • not the sellers’ fault, but beware that this store ships from either France or the UK

Final Conclusion.

I love the original book nook kits and other kits from this store as well, they are quite unique and they would look so well in my bookcase!

 

Book nook kit store number 2. Junes Booknooks.


This Etsy shop makes or sells.

Junes Booknooks is definetely 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 enthustiac for 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 🙁

More FAQs on book nooks for you!


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 :

I hope that you enjoyed this blog post on DIY book nook kits from Etsy. Do let me know if ever you should buy one or make one yourself from a kit!
