I recently gave this beautiful creation to a good friend and I thought I'd post the process of putting it together! I spent so much time putting those tiny books together, it was a little ridiculous but I loved every minute of it!
To make this little book, which I refer to as the tiny Shakespeare tome, I took a magazine and a very sharp box cutter and cut a square from the bottom left of the magazine. I then took some old paper I had that looked vaguely like leather and glued it on so the magazine print was covered. I took a gold Wink of Stella pen and painted the edges of the pages so it looked like the pages had been edged in gold.
To make these little books I cut a 12x12 piece of paper into strips and then folded them using accordion style. I trimmed them as needed to make the books taller, shorter, fatter or thinner as needed. I then took pieces of chipboard and taped them together with washi tape. Then I glued those to the strips of folded paper and viola! Tiny books!!
I bought the tiny lamp, bottles, tiny skull (which I fondly nicknamed Yorick because of the tiny Shakespeare tome) and cuckoo clock at a craft store. The tiny map pictured below I wound up not using because it just didn't fit really well.
