- Miniature Books are SO much fun to create!
Each one is a mini canvas - just waiting for you to add layers of history and ornament.
I love the fact that this method results in a functioning book - you could even read the tiny text on each page if you had Mini-vision!
Miniatures are a blast to create, but there is something extra magical about Mini Books!
I hope you give this method a try - you'll love the results!

I’m addicted to your channel! Love everything you make.
WHAT?!?! That is outta control wonderful of you to say, Rita. Blushing like a schoolgirl, my friend. xox
These book covers and inside pages and end papers are wonderful! How generous of you to offer them free@ God Bless you!
You are a professional. I enjoy making them in a free time ! I want to be a professional miniature artist like you!
Thank you so much Heather for letting us use your free mini book templates. They're so gorgeous and exactly what I've been looking for to fill the bookshelves of my miniature 19th century library that I just made. The company where I bought the supplies for making the library, also had some book covers but they weren't nearly as cool as yours and they cost far too much anyway! I loved your video tutorial too on how to put the books together. ❤ Love from Amanda Jones in Melbourne, Australia.
Makes me so happy to hear that these little templates will be of use to you, Amanda! Thank you for your kindness, my friend. Your 19th century library project sounds fantastic! I hope you enjoy every moment of the process. 😍
My, my...now I need mini books in my life! I’m an avid papercrafter and have everything required to make these ridiculously cute little books. So generous of you to provide the printouts, thanks!
Fantastic, Donna! It's so cool when you have everything on hand...I hope you have half as much fun as I did! xox
thank you! You are so gracious with your freebies and so talented with your work.
It's my lucky day... I stumbled across YOU!!!
Saw the mini books and had to stop my life right then and get them... I feel like a kid in a candy store and can't wait to see what else I have been missing in my life...
I'd have to say it's MY lucky day, Susan! 😍 I'm so pleased to meet you, my friend. I hope the videos are of use to you! xoxo 😘
I was searching for mini books for my gnomes & these are wonderful. Thanks for sharing & for the tips for embellishments. Can't wait to make some.
I know this is an older video but I just wanted to thank you for the video and free printouts!
These are amazing! And since I make cards, I have the trimmer, the heat embossing powder, the little scissors...all of it!
fascinating the lengths to which you go and it pays off. I've been thinking about making a tiny library insert to go between my books in the Balcony library.
This is gorgeous and you are so gorgeous giving the pdf out for free. All these mini books so adorable, Thank you for this clear tutorial. I love all of those books.
You are so welcome! Thank you, Cindy.

I want to thank you for this set to make mini books. It's so interesting and intricate. And you gave us everything for free. That's so kind and impressive. I will be making some for sure. I dont have embossing anything so that will have to wait until I get this. But they will be gorgeous anyway I'm so sure of it. Thank you again for your generosity.
Ok, I’m going to have to mimic the one you did in red😍 You are beyond amazing my friend!!! 🙌🏻 Oh, and I could listen to your voice for hours😘

Amazing! These are so clever and perfectly mimic the kind of book I cherish. Your video is perfectly paced, contains all the details and none of the wasting time chatting that so many you tubers include. It is a pleasure to both watch you create and listen to your fluid voice convince me I can do this, too. And, from past experience with your tutorials, I can. You lay it out for anyone to be able to succeed. Thank you for adding so much creative inspiration to my life.
Oh, Sarah...if you only knew how piercingly insightful your message is! Perhaps you do...Making things is what I adore, yes, but above and beyond that, my main desire is to help others feel as though Creativity is AVAILABLE to them...that, YES, we can ALL do this!
You have given me a priceless gift with your beautiful message. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. 💗😘
