I Made a Hobbit Book Nook from Recycled Christmas Trash
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
I made a tiny cosy Hobbit book nook using mostly recycled Christmas trash and craft items from my cupboard and I just love it!
Hello & welcome, It's Shirley 😊
If you are like me the early months of the year are cold and dreary and I find myself wanting to hibernate under a blanket by a log fire, dreaming of the summer and better weather. I scratch-built a cosy Hobbit book nook from design to completion, I hope you like it :)

KZread just recommended this video to me and I’m very glad that it did. That was very well done. From the clever use of recycled materials to the beautiful and relaxing music, it was a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us.

Hi 😊 thanks so much, yes I tried to use as many recycled items as possible and things I already had in my craft cupboard 👍

Hey! I was going to say that!!
This is awesome! I love all the details you put in it, any Hobbit would be honored to have such a cozy nook for themselves, I'm sure^^ I love that more and more crafters are showing you don't have to only use expensive crafting supplies to make art, it makes my little trash sculpting heart warm lol.

I love using natural items and “junk” as my materials. I’ve spent very little money on mine. My neighbor picks me up items when she goes thrift shopping. And all my natural comes from our Woods on our property…of course I use items I recycle. @zestvisions work is absolutely amazing!!!! Very talented. Do you post yours? I love seeing people’s work. Kits are beautiful but I love handmade projects.
I've never seen glass used to make mini fires before, very cool technique. And I really enjoy the garden illusion out the window.

Thank you, this one was straight from pencil to paper and a challenge, although I have to admit most of my builds I do design in Adobe Illustrator first ☺️
Your builds are so beautiful, crafty, and soothing. I'd love to cozy up in that chair! Enjoy a book, and that view. Well done! Thank you for sharing.

I REALLY love and appreciate the fact that you only used a machine for the window and made everything else by hand. Anyone can operate a machine but it takes a real artist to make such beautiful things like you did in this video. Bravo, it looks absolutely amazing and I can't wait to watch more of ur videos.

What an awesome Book Nook you made out of old Christmas paper and cards, and I love how you used the lid off a Pringle's can to make the round window. But my favourite part of your Book Nook is the scene you created beyond the window so it looks as if there's another world back there. I'm stunned by your creativity and talent.

Hi Amanda, thank you so much for your lovely comments and watching 😊 the scene in the back looks so much better in real life, it's hard to show it well on video, I was so happy how this turned out and will definitely try this effect on other projects in the future 👍 I bet it's nice weather in Melbourne at the moment... Just what I would be dreading of sitting in the chair 🤣 many thanks Shirley in grey Worcestershire
