I have finally recovered the original SVG file from Cricut for this project and it is available on my Patreon as either a 1 time purchase of $3.00 (the minimum patreon lets me charge) or you can get it and all my other files for just $1! www.patreon.com/posts/diagon-alley-svg-112016250?Link&
I've watched many Diagon Alley book nook videos and they are all awesome! But for some reason, yours has such a realistic look to it that I feel I could just walk into its street. Your "vision" for this project has produced the most fascionating and magical little world and I admire your skill and ability! Thanks for sharing!! 🧡🧡
Wow! Thanks very much for the kind words.I'm glad you enjoyed it. Keep an eye out for my video of the bookcase that I made for my daughter, this book nook makes an appearance in that video.
I really enjoyed seeing the detailed process of everything. You inspired me to try a booknook myself. I don't have any good tools ect but maybe i can do smth similar with cardboard. Thank you so much 🥰
This was a good one! You made yours so that maybe the rest of us can try it. I'd love to know how you transferred your dimensions to be able to cut them out on the Cricut. What a fantastic idea and I'd like to do that on my Cricut.
You are an awesome Crafter. BEAUTIFUL ONE OF THE BEST HARRY POTTER Book nook I know seen. Just found your channel, I will be binge watching your channel
Wow! Thank you very much. It was a lot of fun to build. I'm hoping to do another small scale piece like this soon, so be sure to subscribe and hit the bell to see that one.
I know this video is from a year ago, but when you remove your cutouts from the adhesive pad that goes in the cutting machine, try lifting them diagonally. This reduces the risk of breaking small parts like the grids in the windows.
Sir this is a very great project! I also want to make one as a present. I don't have a cricut but I'll just figure it out with the cutting. Thanks for the detailed video instruction!
May I know how long is the fairy light that you used? I am about to order and the options are 3 meters and 5 meters. Which one you think would work best? Thanks in advance!
Wow, this is a little masterpiece. I absolutely love it! It is beyond charming, and it was so fun to watch this come together. What a fun project, and you put your whole heart into it. I bet your daughter did love it. What a good dad :) I have some Harry Potter books, I love those stories. Maybe someday I will try to make one. On a side note, she might like those Harry Potter jelly beans, have you seen them in the store? Some of them are a little gross though, lol. Anyway, J.K. Rowling would be proud. Debbie - BluWave Odyssey
It looks amazing, although I do think it should have a top. Also, it would look better with some grime around the windows, because in Harry Potter, there's always a bit of grime around the edges of the windows... also, some parts of the video were sped up too much, and other parts were really slow, with little to see... but it still looks great. Great video 👍
Unfortunately I dont have the svg anymore. I overrode it doing some minor changes. Next time I do a project like this I will save the full svg and share it in cricut design space.
I'll try to make a list of the supplies I used, but a lot of it was scraps and stuff I just had on hand. (Isn't that usually the case with crafting?) ;)
@@jay5729 Yes, alot of the time, that is the case. However, for me, this is a whole new kind of crafting. I just got a Cricut Maker and I'm still learning how to use it.
This is really awesome, and I feel horrible for wishing that you had shown such details as how you added depth to the windows on Ollivander's and how you placed the lighting in relation to the photos you downloaded (I have the same photos for mine!).
Thank you. I'm not sure what you mean by adding depth to the windows, except that I cut out the foam behind them, and for the lighting; I didnt really plan lighting around the images, I was more concerned with trying to make sure the lights themselves were mostly hidden from direct view, and appeared to be up high. In one of the windows there is an image of a lamp, and I put the light right in the lamp. You really cant see it though because of the curtains.
I do have one other question, please: how did you make the pieces that go between the sets of windows on Olivanders? I tried with thin foam, but it looks awful!
@@kimnobles7687 The fronts and window frames were cut out of card stock. The inside pieces and details like trim were made from chip board. The roof was cardboard covered with card stock "tiles" for the shingles.
@@jay5729 thanks, I saw how you did that, but you were fast forwarding during the trim part. LOL I am struggling to make that look good, and yours is awesome!
were you able to find images without the window frames for the shop windows? I want to add in the images in the windows in one im building but they all have the exterior windows in the image.
I'm not sure of the exact dimensions, but it was somewhere around 5" wide x 10" tall x 8" deep. At least that's about the size of some of the books it was on the shelf with.

Thank you so much! Nerdforge is one of my favorites. They are inspirational!
One of the best Digon Alley’s I’ve seen. Thank you for sharing.

Wow! This is really gorgeous. I have been a miniaturist for 20 years and this is just amazing work!
wow! Thanks!
Absolutely AMAZING!!!

Thanks. Unfortunately I altered the Cricut files and no longer have the original, or I would share it. :(
Great work. Amazing gift for your daughter.
Thank you very much!
What a Wonderful Thoughtful Birthday Gift! Amazing Creation!
Thank you.
I made the Nerdforge model for my daughter and she loved it (she is 23:)) Love how you insert the buildings in the foam. Great work
Thanks, Would love to see how yours turned out.
Excellent. Very clean, love this video.
Thank you very much!
Just beautiful! So charming. Feels like I am walking in the roadway.
Thank you!
love the look of the beard XD

Das ist ja wunderschön anzusehen , eine sehr präzise Arbeit , danke für das Video ...👍👍👍
Gern geschehen und danke.

Thanks for the tip! Never too late.
Nice Job on the Book Nook Jason! Your daughter and my niece would get along great she is obsessed with Harry Potter!
Thanks Tim! Has your niece been to the Harry Potter world at Universal Studios? We keep saying we want to go but have not done it yet.
@@jay5729 I don't think she has but I can ask her and find out!
Excellent Job! I love the detail inside the shops. Makes me wish I had done something similar
Thanks!
This is amazing ❗️
Thank you!
amazing!!
Thank you!
Beautiful. I want to do one of Azkhaban with a Dementor shadow in a window.
Ooh I'd love to see that.
Wow 👏 😮 just found your videos 📹 please keep them coming 🙏 enjoy your videos 📹 😊
Thanks for checking us out.
Looks amazing
Thanks. I was pleased with how it turned out.
YOU’RE A GENIUS! GOOD JOB
Wow, Thanks!
Love the work!!
Thank you!

The one I used was 7ft (2.1 meters)
@@jay5729 I see, I'll just order that same length then. Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it!
Amazing book nook. Thanks for the video.
This is honestly amazing!!! I’m about to attempt making one but ofc it’ll be much harder for me since I don’t have cricut 🥲
Cutting all the windows was the best part of having the crikut. Everything else could have been done by hand no problem.
@@jay5729 I’ll try my best! Is it possible for you to give the dimensions you used? And the printout images as well
Awesome job!!
Thanks!
Just amazing. Please keep it up.
Thank you!
So good
Thank you!
Very nice!!!!
Thanks!!
Excellent!!
Glad you like it! I have a couple more book nooks in the works. What kind would you like to see?
Wow this is truly magical ✨ I love it!
Thank you!

Superb
Thank you! Cheers!

Really great work! Honestly! I already subsrcibed!
Is there any way to purchase the plans for the buildings?
Unfortunately I dont have the svg anymore. I overrode it doing some minor changes. Next time I do a project like this I will save the full svg and share it in cricut design space.
WOW !
Thanks!
Beautiful 😍 What program /files did you use for the Cricut machine?
I made it
Thats awesome :) i really love the result of this harry potter book nook
Thank you! 😊
Wow this is fab. Where do you get your images from to put behind the windows?
I just searched on google for images of bookshelves and curtains etc...
Can I ask what model of Cricut you have please and do you need a special tip for cutting cardboard?
Our Cricut is the maker and for cardstock the regular blade will work but for the chipboard you need the knife blade.
I wish you would add to the description all the products you used and how you used the cricut to cut those pieces.
I'll try to make a list of the supplies I used, but a lot of it was scraps and stuff I just had on hand. (Isn't that usually the case with crafting?) ;)
@@jay5729 Yes, alot of the time, that is the case. However, for me, this is a whole new kind of crafting. I just got a Cricut Maker and I'm still learning how to use it.
Amazing sir👏👏
Thanks a lot
Hi jay. I would love to have a go at making this its amazing. I dont suppose you could share the cricut file you made with me please?
I’ll see if I can upload the file to the design space to share.
@@jay5729 brilliant jay thank you x
@@jay5729 Hey Jay, i loved your Cricut FIle. Is it possible to send me the Link? :)

This is a great video, thanks so much for all the details. Is there any chance that you would share the SVG’S that you used please?
Unfortunately I no longer have the SVG files. I butchered it later making some small extra pieces.
Wow
Thanks!
PERFEITO!!!!
Thank you!
were you able to find images without the window frames for the shop windows? I want to add in the images in the windows in one im building but they all have the exterior windows in the image.
I didnt use actual images from the movie's just generic images of shops.
Got it thanks@@jay5729
Is there a way that I could buy the cricut file you made to print these out?
Unfortunately I don’t have the original svg because I modified it after I cut out the pieces. ☹️
@@jay5729 That's okay! Thank you, though. Yours looks great. :)
Amazing !!! Love the music but a bit to loud and makes it somewhat hard to hear you.
Thanks for the comment! I'll work on the music.
what is cardstock ?
Cardstock is a really thick paper. It's what greeting cards and business cards are made from.
Really lovely work but does the music have to be so loud and dramatic. I used headphones and could barely hear your voice over this thunderous score.
Thanks for the comments. I've worked on better balance of the music in subsequent videos.
HI! I'M NEW!! and subscribed. I did a Diagon Alley video last year and wanted to check yours out. I LOVE your intro!!! HUGS!
Welcome and thanks for checking us out. Your Book Nook is amazing I love the details. th-cam.com/video/Zdjt4IuXGf4/w-d-xo.html
more of a software learning tool than a craft really, but I guess if you want to bang out hundreds for sale its a useful exercise
Absolutely love it but your background music was far too loud
Thanks for the comments.
Hey, what are the exact dimensions of this Book Nook? Is it bigger than the one from Nerdforge?
I'm not sure of the exact dimensions, but it was somewhere around 5" wide x 10" tall x 8" deep. At least that's about the size of some of the books it was on the shelf with.
Music is toooo loud. Build is awesome!
Thanks for the comments!
Great job. Lose the loud music.
Thanks for watching!
