This lady was on a TV series called, Best in Miniature, it was a really great series. I loved everything she made. I’m really happy I came upon this site. She is wonderful
Greetings from across The Pond 🙋♂ I'm new to book nooking, so I found this to be a very informative and instructive video; just what I was looking for! I've also been experimenting with adding an infinity mirror and leds inside, which also creates that illusion of depth. The book nooks, and box frame dioramas, that I have so far made, have been scratch built; not the kit form that a lot of people buy to construct, but the basic principles are the same. Anyway, I've liked 'n' subbed! 👍
This is a great video for beginners. I am starting to get interested in this, but some of those I've seen are really complex. Thank you for taking the time to actually teach these methods. This will be helpful when I start doing it. You are a good teacher.
Okay, I already knew everything you said. But I'm blown away by your attention to explain the stuff... and by the way, you're the cutest granny I've seen around here so far. ^^
Omg Tina this is the most informative thing I've seen on the book nooks! I love the angled mirror for continuity, and the lighting...a 9 volt! Rechargeables 🤗 Thank You! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! Btw I miss my Granny will you adopt me?? Please?? 😁 She would be much older than you if still living but I miss our times of crafting together. You'd be crafting Granny on steroids with your knowledge! 😉 New subscriber here and going to check out your videos tonight. Bless you lady.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to explain and demonstrate this. I am planning out a book nook for the wife for Christmas and this is a HUGE help. Thank you again.
Olá, Tina! Estou começando nesse universo do Book Nook. Essa aula sobre o uso do espelho é a mais completa que encontrei até agora. Já assisti duas vezes. Vou seguir sua sugestão de fazer os testes na prática. Muito obrigada! Aqui me chamam de Tina também! ❤
Hi Tina thanku so much for all these wonderful hints and tips. Just found your channel and have subscribed. I saw a book nook the other day that had the ceiling lowered into the box by a inch or so, so the whole ceiling was available to use for electrics 😃
Thank you so much! I have had so many questions about the mirrors in book nooks. Once I heard the info I felt a little dumb, it is a bit elementary, but I needed to hear the info! Now I need an intro to wiring!
Thank you very much for sharing this information. You answered many questions and fired off all sorts of ideas that need to come out of my brain. Stay safe and thank you.
Thank you Miss Tina for being so incredibly informative!!! I wish you were one of my teachers at school - I might have done a bit better haha!! (Not shaming the teachers I had, but one more wouldn't have hurt)
This video is so helpful! I couldn’t figure out how certain book nooks look like they just keep going off to the side and this video totally explained how to do it. I’m so happy to save myself from buying a super expensive kit and now able to make my own, thank you so much!!!
Great video! I'm working on using a mirror to give the illusion of stairs. What type of mirror are you using? I'm having a difficult time finding just a simple rectangular mirror.
Good Afternoon Tina.. I just saw your video. Very interesting and well done. I would like to know what is the mirror material used and where could one purchase it?
Sorry, nothing on adding a window. As far as scale goes, the video was made using 1:12 scale accessories, but any scale could be used. It depends on how you want to furnish it. Hope that helps...
Thank you so much for this! I have a really hard time understanding this kind of stuff theoretically without banging rocks together to see the proof of concept (which would have taken an untenable amount of time without this instruction). I'm attempting to accomplish this in life size in my library and all of the other YT vids on book nooks etc I've seen totally skip over this part of how to actually angle the mirror and what you need where in favor of showing their process. (Hoping u have the same on infinity mirrors)
I'm afraid I can't help you there... I just googled images for library shelving and them played around with some graphics till it looked the way I wanted it to.
A few of you want my web site address. I don't really have one, but am the webmaster (and workshop coordinator) for our club website - www.miniature-enthusiasts-of-edmonton.com and have an Etsy store. at www.etsy.com/ca/shop/MiniMinutia. Hope that helps.
Thank you very much for your video. It was very enlightening and I plan to make a book nook with infinity mirror. Maybe you could explain how to do it the best way. I'm subscribing to your channel ♥️
@@tinamacdonaldminiminutia Thank you for your answer Tina. Do you mean one way or two ways mirror? I'm confused but I've seen acrilic ones, both of them, that do the job pretty good even better than the glass ones. Sorry, my English is not very good, I'm from Spain 😅
If I remember correctly, it was 8" tall by 4" wide. But I used flexible miorror tile, nbot a real mirrow, so you can cut it to whatever size you want. Hope that helps...
I tend to call it just Styrofoam, but the proper name is Extruded Polystyrene Insulation (Foamular) made by Owen Corning. There are a number of types on the market in a wide variety of thicknesses. I use the 1/2" for Book Nook purposes. I also have some 2 1/2" thick stuff which can be carved into incredible stone work or bases for 1:48 inch buildings (think a castle sitting on a craggy rock). Hope this helps...
This lady was on a TV series called, Best in Miniature, it was a really great series. I loved everything she made. I’m really happy I came upon this site. She is wonderful
It certainly was fun... you can watch the series on CBC Gem, or Discovery Plus in England.
@@tinamacdonaldminiminutia Thank you

Thank you Tina, I'm am looking at making a book nook. The information here will help. God bless you
This was more useful than I thought

Giggle... I've been clled a lot of things, but "cutest granny" is delightful! Thanks...
Very cool demonstration of mirrors...especially the window effect, that one I liked the most. Thanks for showing this.
Thank you. That was exactly what I needed to understand the trick in another book nook.
Instructions and ideas galore!! What a wonderful video. I want to climb inside and visit your studio!! Thank you!
Omg Tina this is the most informative thing I've seen on the book nooks! I love the angled mirror for continuity, and the lighting...a 9 volt! Rechargeables 🤗

Olá, Tina!

Muito obrigada!
Aqui me chamam de Tina também! ❤
Cool techniques with examples! Thanks for sharing.
I have learned more from you in this video than I found searching the internet... thank you so much 😊
This was extremely helpful and well presented. I’m thinking you might follow it with one on infinity mirrors.
Wonderful and informative, your video popped up 10 mins ago, subbed❤
Tina I just saw you and knew I'm hooked
Liked the diagrams at the beginning! Very informative.
What a great video and explanation! Great job and I will be referencing this video often.
Hi Tina thanku so much for all these wonderful hints and tips. Just found your channel and have subscribed.
I saw a book nook the other day that had the ceiling lowered into the box by a inch or so, so the whole ceiling was available to use for electrics 😃
I like your clear explanations!
Thank you so much Tina!
Looks like such fun! Thanks so much. :)
Madam --I have learned so much from you! You are a blessing and I can’t wait to surprise my mom with a booknook
Thank you SO MUCH for this helpful explanation and demonstration. You tickled my brain with new concepts. I learned a lot and am grateful.
Thank you so much! I have had so many questions about the mirrors in book nooks. Once I heard the info I felt a little dumb, it is a bit elementary, but I needed to hear the info! Now I need an intro to wiring!
Glad it was helpful. Too bad I can't help you with wiring...
Thank you very much for sharing this information. You answered many questions and fired off all sorts of ideas that need to come out of my brain. Stay safe and thank you.
muy bueno Tina! ❤
You are so awesome. I love your video, you’re a great teacher!
Enjoyed all of your videos but this one was most especially informative. Thank you for all the 'science' explanations too.
It is not that what you say is very interesting, it is that you make it sound so simple, it is incredible, my respects, I will put it into practice
I gotta say, I feel sorry I hadn't found your video before I started experimenting with mirrors! Thank you so much for the explanation!
Wonderful demo! Thank you so much for the science too!!!
Very informative and helpful! Thank you, I enjoyed your video 🙂
Thank you for such an amazing and informative video. Great stuff 🖤🖤🖤
Awesome! Thank you for sharing💚
You are very welcome..
Thank you so much. I really appreciate your help 😊👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Best video I've seen on this subject, thanks!
I got some portable book lights that either have clips or whatever, and easy to attach and remove if I wanted.
What a brilliant video
Thank you! It was fun to make...
Thank you Miss Tina for being so incredibly informative!!!
I wish you were one of my teachers at school - I might have done a bit better haha!!
(Not shaming the teachers I had, but one more wouldn't have hurt)
Thank you very much. This is very helpful and handy
Thanks so much Tina!
This is the best!! I have been looking for this!
Wow. Great tips! Thank you! ❤

Keeeeeep posting please. I need this knowledge.

I love this content. Thank you for sharing. Bravissima!
Thank you, this video is very useful!
Good Afternoon Tina.. I just saw your video. Very interesting and well done. I would like to know what is the mirror material used and where could one purchase it?
Do you have a video on how to add a window? Also, what scale furnishings would go inside?
Sorry, nothing on adding a window. As far as scale goes, the video was made using 1:12 scale accessories, but any scale could be used. It depends on how you want to furnish it. Hope that helps...
Thank you so much! 🌹
Where did you buy that mirror paper? It moved like paper but it was so reflective.
I purchased it from Amazon - just search for flexible mirror tiles.
Thank you so much for this!

So glad you found it helpful!
I want a scenic window in my book nook!!
Practical, applicable information! Thank you, and subscribed! (But no pressure lol)
Hello, I‘d love to know what kind of mirror you use and where to get it. Do you use foil? Or is it glass? I‘m so excited! Best, Hannah
I get the mirror tile on Amazon. Search "mirror tile" and you will get a number of listings that will work. Hope that helps...
good info, thanks
very interesting
Thank you so much!!!!!!!!!!!
Very helpful!
Hi Ms Tina!! New suscriber here and i wanna know where do you buy all your materials??? Thank you and super grat tutorial✌🏼❤️🙏🏼
The mirror I got on Amazon. Just Google flexible mirror tile. Hope that helps...
Thank you!
cool
Really great explanation. Thank you so much. Can I ask where you got the library shelf print out please on the square barrier?
I'm afraid I can't help you there... I just googled images for library shelving and them played around with some graphics till it looked the way I wanted it to.
@@tinamacdonaldminiminutia oh right ok. I'll have to keep looking 😊 thanks anyway
Lovely!
A few of you want my web site address. I don't really have one, but am the webmaster (and workshop coordinator) for our club website - www.miniature-enthusiasts-of-edmonton.com

apaixonada 😍😍
Thank you very much for your video. It was very enlightening and I plan to make a book nook with infinity mirror. Maybe you could explain how to do it the best way. I'm subscribing to your channel ♥️
I'd love to help, but cannot find a good source for a one-way mirror that would fit in a book nook. Anyone got any ideas?
@@tinamacdonaldminiminutia Thank you for your answer Tina. Do you mean one way or two ways mirror? I'm confused but I've seen acrilic ones, both of them, that do the job pretty good even better than the glass ones. Sorry, my English is not very good, I'm from Spain 😅
Tina where can I get some of that mirror stock?
Amazon carries several weights of mirror tile. Search for flexible mirror tile. Hope that helps...
Great video!! What's your website? And can I download the pdf on mirror placement?
You can get the .pdf on mirror placement here: static.s123-cdn.com/uploads/4126261/normal_5fbff9442f187.pdf
2x playback speed works best
Hello! What size mirror is the one you first used?
If I remember correctly, it was 8" tall by 4" wide. But I used flexible miorror tile, nbot a real mirrow, so you can cut it to whatever size you want. Hope that helps...
i love you!!!
You are ANAZING !
Wuaww ❤️❤️👏 thank
where did you get the light kit? link or website?
Evans Designs... evandesigns.com/
HI! what was the name of the foam you used?
I tend to call it just Styrofoam, but the proper name is Extruded Polystyrene Insulation (Foamular) made by Owen Corning. There are a number of types on the market in a wide variety of thicknesses. I use the 1/2" for Book Nook purposes. I also have some 2 1/2" thick stuff which can be carved into incredible stone work or bases for 1:48 inch buildings (think a castle sitting on a craggy rock). Hope this helps...
