  • The making of a Harry Potter themed Book Nook I made as a gift to my super fan sister in law! I had to skip over a few bits for brevity, sorry if that gets confusing at all but it's about three weeks of work cut down to 15 minutes! Here's an album of the finished nook! - imgur.com/gallery/3LD8DUj

      Mirror was a great idea because you could see the details of the hidden side too not just the illusion of depth. But should use a glass cutter instead, cleaner break & less dust.

      @@ItsVerosLife I'm pretty sure she didn't "copy" him. making a Harry Potter book nook can be a very appealing idea for any artist who is a fan of Harry Potter (me included). At the end of the day they have mostly used very different techniques and had different approaches. I personally love both end results. :)

      @@ItsVerosLife The whole point of making these videos is so other people make what you make but with their own touches, ideas, and style. That's kind of the point. That and its basically just a diorama (you tube is full of book nooks), Harry Potter themed. Finally, she makes things she wants for herself, documents the process in an entertaining way, and by no means tries to portray any of her work as completely 100% original ideas.

      Making something like this, could actually be a idea for actual spider cages (like for people who keep tarantulas)
      ...but idk if thats not too much or possible ,since u have to clean the cages once in a while...i dont have much knowledge about keeping spiders as pets ,so.... dunno if that would work. Was just a idea

      I see you point but it makes it much more realistic that way, as the snow gets trodden in, it turns to ice and as it melts and refreezes, it takes on a crusty semi-opaque glassy look? So you see the cobbles underneath. You see it in a lot of old cities :)
