I feel like you could put a little light/fairy lights behind the door so it seems like some treasure/magic is behind that door!! I loved this video!! I've been thinking of making a book nook too!
Rachel Maksy maybe you could try looking for those tiny fake tea light candles! I bet you could dismantle the candle part and take out the little light.
The photo you showed of the temple covered in "fallen branches" is actually a very famous temple in Cambodia where trees grew on the stones. So these are not branches, they are huge roots of century old trees. Just thought I'd add this cool info here
My sister: we should ma- Me: hobbit hole My sister: I didn’t even finish what I was saying Me: doesn’t matter we’re making a book nook hobbit hole My sister: I don’t think- Me: *HOBBIT HOLE*
@@DrFranklynAnderson Add in a little flickering LED to make the windows light up at night! In fact make two separate ones on the same shelf, one is the outside with hedges and the lovely round door, the other is inside with its own bookshelves and maps laying around!
I'm a 71 year old grandma who loves crafting anything. Rachel, you are so ADORABLE! I mean gorgeous! I love your hair and your pale skin. Beautiful contrast. AND, then you go and get creative and make this wonderful little book nook and show us how you did it. Thank you for a wonderfully spent 15 minutes. I'm already imagining doing my own book nook!
I was watching Howl's Moving Castle again when you posted this. My thought went to, Howl's Castle book nook, but it's too big and I started planning a miniature! XD
You have once again lulled me into a false sense of "oooh, that looks fun, I could totally make that" while I really know it will end in a hot glue gun based tantrum. And yet...I'm going to do it anyway :)
OMGoodness! I love it!!! I've been thinking of doing this forever, and little doll houses. I'm 61 years old no artistic ability. Didn't know this was a thing! You have given me courage to try. Thank you!
The dream i have of when I am offically an adult and have a job, im gonna fill a book shelf and have my own personal little library, especially since I'm obsessing with the librarian A E S T H E T I C
Rachel saying "it's not a TRUE column" like we expected her to bring out the marble and make an actual decorative structural support for her little foam castle😂🙌
I made a Japanese alley inspired one for a school project, even added lights inside the buildings and a mirror at the end so it looks like it continues. So awesome to see other people’s versions!
@@rachelmaksy and extra special thanks for replying. i lost my job today from budget cuts and am a bit stressed, but the change will be good as long as i seek out cheer and fun. sending love and oodles o' gratitoodle!
Your third outfit (will the green top) has major Anastasia disney bound vibes 😍 Edit after video: It's so freakin cute! I've been wanting to make one so now maybe I'll do it!
Except Anastasia was a Fox studios film, not Disney. It seems almost default to think every animated princess movie is Disney but this is one of the few that aren't.
I totally stand behind Native. I am in welding school, my classes are in an open air metal building, and I HAVE to wear heavy clothes and a leather protection jacket even when its 98% humidity and 85 degrees outside. This stuff works.
I loved it! The open door at the end is perfect. It reminds me of those "Reading is a Doorway to Adventure" posters we used to see in school. Perfect for a bookshelf!
Core memory unlocked. The summer camp I went to had us make diorama scenes with stuff we could gather from outside, construction paper, and markers. I had totally forgot that.
A crafter after (ha ha) my own heart! I LURVE miniatures, especially when you can add light up elements to the project! Your book nook is amazing and beautiful, I can imagine all kinds of D&D, treasure-hunting, exploration adventures!! I also love those rare, magical houses or shops that have the little scenes in the walls!!! Like I'm a wee lil' child all over again and magic is everywhere!! I didn't do many dioramas for school but had dollhouses as a kid. It doesn't go away... that Love of Little and I'm happy for that fact! Thank you for sparking up this quarantine, Rachel! I have so many ideas, my wallet be shaking!
I’ve never seen these before, but now I’m inspired! I might do a hallway that leads to a hobbit door at the end! Miniature books staked high, a tiny end table with a lamp to illuminate it, the ideas are flowing! I love your videos because they always spark my creative side! I consider myself “old to the channel” and I’m never disappointed!
I've never seen these before but holy moly it turned out BEAUTIFUL! As someone who always wanted to make a diorama but never did (??) I maaaay have to try one of these!
Great build. If you want to add lights to it, you can buy orange or yellow flickering LEDs. You could use them to make torches in wall sconces or hide a couple behind the arch to suggest flaming torches inside. They can be powered by the 3v button cell batteries or a couple of AA or AAA cells in series. I'd also get some 1ohm resistors to limit the current to the LED and make them last a bit longer. To connect them up, you can use any thin wire and if you don't want to solder, twist the wires together and secure with hot glue. The circuit is [battery]+ -------[resistor]--------[LED]--------[switch]------ -[battery]. The long leg on the LED is connected to the + / positive side of the battery.
A fun thing to do to add a little more mystery to your temple could be adding a small light coming from the door like those dollar store tea lights, though I suppose those would be a little too big for the gap.
10:02 laughing at how you're looking at Frodo here because that is the EXACT look I give my pupper when I think she's about to bark at someone and I really don't want her to.
I tiny little light behind the door would be awesome! Not only would it be like an ancient treasure glowing through the door but it would light things up a bit more so you could get a nice clear view of it all! It’s so pretty, it deserves to be seen!
I have the very same edition of The Hobbit sitting on my bookshelf. Super cute book nook. As much as I love Harry Potter, if not the author at the moment, it was delightful to see a non-HP theme. Love, light, and blessings to you and yours.
I play ALOT of table top rpgs and craft a TON of "scenes" for our gaming table. Temples, caves, city streets etc. I was so giddy to see you make this - reminds me of the day I saw a terrain build on youtube of an abandoned mine and IMMEDIATELY ran to the nearest dollar tree for hot glue, craft foam, and popsicle sticks! Also, if ever you're lacking in flocking. Wood shavings (even from a sharpened pencil) are a nice alternative. For texture I use aluminum and a tiny wire brush. Overall it looks AMAZING!!
I knew you would be a fan of miniatures because of how much you love the little details in your nick nacks!! Little details and puppy dog kisses fill the empty parts of life 💕💕
This turned out so good!!! My favorites of these are the ones with lights in them... Where's a miniature, battery-operated, flickering torch when you need one?!
I now feel the need to make different book-nooks for the different genres in my collection. Like a fancy Jane Austen looking sitting room, a spoopy lab between Frankenstein and Jekyll and Hyde, a lil' theatre for my script and drama history section, a great hall scene for my Harry Potter collection (obvs). This may be a new obsession... More miniature dioramas plz Mama Maksy.
Absolutely PRECIOUS. Also, in case anyone was wondering the Native deodorant is in fact TOO LEGIT TO QUIT, so definitely give it a go if you've also experienced stinky trauma from other natural deods!
I've been on a Rachel binge while sick (helped me feel so much better 💖) and I wish we got more stuff like this and just hanging out; those are my favorite videos.
I freaking LOVE dioramas and I remember the joy of making them sometimes in random moments and it makes me think, "could... could I do this for a living? Is there a way to do that?" WHY DON'T I DO THAT
Mum chiming in: when you're a mum, it gets WORSE. Then, if you want any type of child-item, it is not only very gendered (yes, even boxes!), but it has gendered words on it. BOO-URNS.
I've seen kids (on TH-cam) themselves ranting about gendered things. It's usually girls, btw, because they sort of want the inspirational "you can do" sort of words on boys' clothing, but apparently girls' clothes only have words like "pretty". There's a company that makes airplane and truck dresses for girls. Because some girls don't want a 'princess-y' dress. OTOH, when Target de-gendered their toy section, one mom mentioned that her kids would 'sneak' into the other section. Apparently it's great fun to 'help' your kids sneak into the opposite section. LOL.
YES on the mum part (the things shops can gender! Boxes, kiddie cameras, cutlery... *cutlery* for goodness' sake!). Also just sending you a little high five since I also say "Boo-urns" :D
My 5 year old niece loves anything mechanical, and outer space. Let me tell you, when she found out about rockets, HER TINY MIND EXPLODED. Now she wants to be an astronaut. Or an elephant keeper because elephants are the best. Apparently.
@@Bananacustardcostuming There's so much there! There are some women astronauts on twitter she could look up. You could also point out that people design and build those rockets. Not everyone has the physical whatever-it-takes to be an astronaut. There's lots of ways she could get in at NASA.
Rachel, I need another sewing video, pls! The video where you used household materials really got me interested in sewing, so it would be really cool if you did another one, it was so cute! Pls!!!
I love this video and it turned out super cute! But I want to say I appreciate the recommendation for native. It suck in my head the last time you recced them, and I got some recently when my old stuff ran out. I miss the scent I had before, but this one never gives me a rash. Thank you! Also, don’t be afraid to do fun little crafty things like this. Like. You could always make another book nook. For your victorian room! I’d watch that. I watch pretty much all your stuff though. 😂
your not setting things down on the ground for him to lay on, that's why he giving you side eye hahaha :) Love the book nook!!! I want to make one now :)
I have to say Nick’s literature choices are *chefs kiss* spot on. Let’s start a book club. I’m finishing the second book in the Wheel of Time series right now which I see those snuck into that bookcase!
This is so inspiring, now I know what I shall do eventually with that, "Get Smart" dvd boxed set box I have lying around. I was going to chuck it, but it might be just the thing for a Book Nook?! How fun looking is that?! I'd say it's the bee's knee's and no mistake. Now if I can just get all my craft supplies found and unpacked...argh!!! This was awesome Rachel, just what I needed on a rainy cold day!
Y’all I finally bought native deodorant through your link and it’s sooooo good. I’m obsessed with the cucumber mint scent🍄 Edit: I wrote this comment before starting the video and am laughing that they’re the sponsor. I’m just genuinely glad I got it lmao
Sarah Lee I know Schmidt’s and Tom’s can cause rashes for some people. I have had a much better experience with Native, personally. Also, Tom’s in particular just really sucks IMO. I would have to reapply like every half hour and it gave me a horrible rash. Currently I apply about twice a day but could probably get away with once, also no rash! Although skin sensitivity varies, so to each their own. Best wishes 😁
The reveal combined with that music made me think of the ruins in Visby in Sweden. (There is a lot of ruins there and I have twice been to the medieval week in Visby.) I really like the mood of it. So inspiring on so many levels! Both making wise and inspirational/fantasy wise. A part of me want to make one too, but I seldom work with hard materials. Concerning crafting, I am only proficient in fabrics.
Yasss that temple you showed with the cool tree is my fav ever! It’s called Ta Prohm, it’s in Cambodia! It’s literally so cool. I highly recommend visiting! It was also used in part of the Tomb Raider movie with Angelina Jolie
Oh. My. God! I discovered book nooks about 2 months ago and immediately became obsessed and started a Pinterest board, but then got excited about something else, so it's moved further down the list. But you've given me such inspiration! Great idea about getting the box base to start. I want to do an 18th century room with a table set for tea (teeny tiny little tea cups!!!!!).

Hahaha oh I am definitely on that path 😂😂😂😂
Easy. Second bookshelf!
Honestly, it would just be a big village or "doll house" situation. I'm inspired to try. 😁👍
@@bagandbroad You are a genius.
Agreed
I’m way to entertained by the fact that the box says to enjoy the little thing and you made it into a miniature

I feel like you could put a little light/fairy lights behind the door so it seems like some treasure/magic is behind that door!! I loved this video!! I've been thinking of making a book nook too!
Totally! I gotta keep an eye out for some cool lighting
😯😁
@@rachelmaksy Some places have mini battery LED lights that could work for that effect...
Rachel Maksy maybe you could try looking for those tiny fake tea light candles! I bet you could dismantle the candle part and take out the little light.
Dollhouse lighting is easily obtained and relatively simple. HTH.

Angkor wat? Right? Pretty sure a bunch of movies have been partially filmed their like tomb raider indiana jones types.

Also, don’t be afraid to do fun little crafty things like this. Like. You could always make another book nook. For your victorian room! I’d watch that.
I watch pretty much all your stuff though. 😂
These slice of life crafty videos are my blooooooood. I love them.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I would love to see more of this kind of projects! It was really fun c:
Nick’s read selection is after my our heart ❤️
MA'AM, YOU FORGOT TO SAY THAT WE HAVE FUN HERE!! *triggered*
Omg you're right I didn't even notice 😂😂😂😂
I did have fun despite you not mentioning it. ;)
NO FUN HERE TODAY.
If you ever want to make more of these, I am SUPER here for it.
your not setting things down on the ground for him to lay on, that's why he giving you side eye hahaha :) Love the book nook!!! I want to make one now :)
I have to say Nick’s literature choices are *chefs kiss* spot on. Let’s start a book club. I’m finishing the second book in the Wheel of Time series right now which I see those snuck into that bookcase!
Is it wrong if I would love to see you make a second one... that's hobbit themed?
Omg yes!!!!!!!
This is so inspiring, now I know what I shall do eventually with that, "Get Smart" dvd boxed set box I have lying around. I was going to chuck it, but it might be just the thing for a Book Nook?! How fun looking is that?! I'd say it's the bee's knee's and no mistake. Now if I can just get all my craft supplies found and unpacked...argh!!! This was awesome Rachel, just what I needed on a rainy cold day!
Y’all I finally bought native deodorant through your link and it’s sooooo good. I’m obsessed with the cucumber mint scent🍄
Edit: I wrote this comment before starting the video and am laughing that they’re the sponsor. I’m just genuinely glad I got it lmao
I tried an off brand of native on accident and broke out in these horrific hives! I’m honestly scared to try them out now....
Sarah Lee I know Schmidt’s and Tom’s can cause rashes for some people. I have had a much better experience with Native, personally. Also, Tom’s in particular just really sucks IMO. I would have to reapply like every half hour and it gave me a horrible rash. Currently I apply about twice a day but could probably get away with once, also no rash! Although skin sensitivity varies, so to each their own. Best wishes 😁
So happy to hear you like the product! It would mean the world to us if you would write a review on Nativecos.com.
The reveal combined with that music made me think of the ruins in Visby in Sweden. (There is a lot of ruins there and I have twice been to the medieval week in Visby.) I really like the mood of it. So inspiring on so many levels! Both making wise and inspirational/fantasy wise. A part of me want to make one too, but I seldom work with hard materials. Concerning crafting, I am only proficient in fabrics.
*immediately wants to make a book nook even though I don’t have a book shelf*
Literally just read an article on this, wondered how I could do it, and here comes your video. Thank you Rachel.
This is so cute! I kind of wanna make my own now
I started making miniatures and I'm sending a mini Library that I made out of a lantern/candle holder to my mother. They are ADDICTIVE!
I love this so much! Have you ever seen the miniature rooms at the Art Institute of Chicago? They're incredible!
Your editing cracks me up every time 😂😂😂😂😂
I live for the mini you
Heehee thank you!
I’ve been calling it “corona-crafting” 😅
😂😂❤️❤️ perfect
Yasss that temple you showed with the cool tree is my fav ever! It’s called Ta Prohm, it’s in Cambodia! It’s literally so cool. I highly recommend visiting! It was also used in part of the Tomb Raider movie with Angelina Jolie
To be clear: Real artists "just wing it".
Hahaha good to know! 😂
Oh. My. God! I discovered book nooks about 2 months ago and immediately became obsessed and started a Pinterest board, but then got excited about something else, so it's moved further down the list. But you've given me such inspiration! Great idea about getting the box base to start. I want to do an 18th century room with a table set for tea (teeny tiny little tea cups!!!!!).
Yess they're so cute!!!!
"Today we are going something different"
don't you always Rachel?
This is adorable! When I finally get an actual bookshelf this will be a must!
🤗❤️❤️❤️
Ooooooweeeee! 😂 Or as we say in the South - yeeee hawwww! 🤣

As a fellow southerner, I've only used " oh yehaw" in a sarcastic tone ......................................
@@Bluebelle51 Same. But, I think we both meant it as a joke. No one says "Yeehaw" seriously.
I love making shadow boxes and such like this!! You nailed it!!! I love this!
