You may remember the wonderful Captain Nemo’s Organ Room project that Guest Designer Jessica Armstrong created a few months ago? See those wee little books all tossed about by the chaos of that tentacle coming through the porthole? Well, Jessica is back with new a collection of collage sheets for making such tiny books — and has provided a video tutorial (she shares tips that make churning out books so easy)!
And Jessica was so thoughtful to include a whole sheet of Brothers’ Grimm Book Covers, to coincide with our Snow White Kit this month!
Here’s a preview from Jessica’s Blog Post:
I’ve been a busy little bee working studiously away making teeny tiny 1″ little books! Lots of little covers to pick from, in various themes. And each one has a different thickness and is one inch high and can be made into an openable book.
There’s also a more plain set of books, which I really love because you can sneak them easily into so many scenes! I’ve snuck some fancier ones in there, too, though.
There’s 45 books per sheet, which gives you tons of books to work with.
And now you can learn how to use book cover sheets to make your own miniature openable books with this little tutorial!
Psst! There’s more than just (!) tiny books, too! See below for some tiny (and not so tiny) birds and bees… and some creepy labels to get a head start on Halloween!

I am currently working on an old bookstore and would LOVE To use some of these techniques to make my own books!!
Oh, my darling girl Emma could use some new books for her library (she’s quite the reader!) so I would use the Brothers Grimm Books and Mystic Books Collage sheets first. And the Potion Ingredient Labels would come in very very handy for her apothecary too!
So many uses for tiny books. I would love to make a bunch of them. I think the Harry Potter potions books would be the first to be used.
Have a library project in progress…..and need books for the shelves!
Love little books, how fun to make a mini library!!
Definitely the Victorian Sheet. I’d start with the Alice, Adventures in Wonderland book. But I also really like the Potion/Apothecary sheet. Thanks.
I would love to make a mini apothecary using the spell pages collage sheet.
I would use the Victorian Little Books sheet first to assemble a library room for my granddaughter’s doll house I made her for Christmas! She loves to read and asked me why her dolls didn’t have books to read so she would be so pleased if I made her some!
TFS!

I love the shadow box bugs & bats and would make a dusty old office for the bug collector!!
I would use the potion ingredients first for my apothecary that I’m still working on from Halloween. At least I’m still working on it – I now say that I’m early for Halloween!
all these are so wonderful! I love the idea for the heart boxes..but especially the Brothers Grim books along with various collage art to go with it..My idea is Story Time with Brothers Grimm for my grandson Henry..a shadow box that tells the stories in large format with embellishments along with these wonderful books for his imagination!
Either way…I think it’s great these are being shared! 🙂

I would use grimms fairy tales for a pocketletter on fairy tales this month
These are so much fun! I am doing a Coffin shaped bookcase,I think the Harry Potter covers would be perfect! Thanks for the chance to win!
I am currently work on on a huge “Into the Woods” miniature scene with loads of different fairy tales and other fantasy stores depicted. I think it would be very cool to have a young girl with a pile of fairy tale books reading them and have this scene be her dreams or imaginings, much like Alice was at the beginning of Alice in Wonderland.
I love the little books! I love to read and I love cool libraries. My next purchase, I’m going to supplies to make some sort of library using the book sheets. This is a great giveaway!
I love Halloween so of course I want the Spell pages I had already added it to my cart before seeing it was in the giveaway. I love miniature things and these books are so darn cute. I have a shadow box that I put them all in-got to add the spell books to my library. >^..^<

I’ve been thinking about teaching a Valentine candy box at our February club meeting and the little photo showing how to make a box from two hearts has convinced me to pull out my supplies and prep for a class! I’d like to use some of the valentine prints for the class.
And of course books are always a good project to bring along to our mini club meetings!
I’m working on The Frog Prince right now, I need the mini book, a birdcage Library and I would love to have all the tales

Little library collage sheet is the first I would use.
I would use the Mystic and Plain old Books books as part of my Sherlock Holmes study. I,too, love books of all kinds, both mini and real life size. My hubby says we have no room in the house for another bookcase. Guess I will have to settle for a mini library the size of the London Reading room.

I don’t know! I would probably start with Grimm and the Victorian covers. I have wanted to make a book room or book and oddities shop ever since I saw Nichola Battilana room awhile ago. I have made some little books and though they aren’t hard they are time consuming. I think I would make the book store/ oddities shop. And it will take awhile to make all those books. These little covers are wonderful!
I would get started by making as many tiny books as possible to use whenever I needed them. So the answer would be ALL!
Mini books! Yes, please. My mini witch’s apothecary is begging for books and bottles. I just love all of the mini venues.
I’m just loving all the mini books! What fun!
Ive been making boho necklaces, and these little books would be great charms to hang on them!
