Hullloo!!! So lately on Ye Olde Internet, I've been seeing a lot of people making bookshelf inserts (or as I learned they are called, "Book Nooks"), so I wanted to make my own! I decided to do a lil' abandoned temple design and tried to use materials I already had! It was a ton of fun and I frickin' love making anything miniature, hahaha. If you try this out make sure you show me!
Materials:
Craft Foam Sheets
Flappy box thingy from Michael's
Thicker EVA Foam (8mm or 10mm) (I get mine from tntcosplaysupply.com)
Acrylic Paints
Sculpey Clear Glaze
Foam Clay (I got mine from Arda Wigs:

    I've seen kids (on KZread) themselves ranting about gendered things. It's usually girls, btw, because they sort of want the inspirational "you can do" sort of words on boys' clothing, but apparently girls' clothes only have words like "pretty". There's a company that makes airplane and truck dresses for girls. Because some girls don't want a 'princess-y' dress. OTOH, when Target de-gendered their toy section, one mom mentioned that her kids would 'sneak' into the other section. Apparently it's great fun to 'help' your kids sneak into the opposite section.

    Sarah Lee I know Schmidt’s and Tom’s can cause rashes for some people. I have had a much better experience with Native, personally. Also, Tom’s in particular just really sucks IMO. I would have to reapply like every half hour and it gave me a horrible rash. Currently I apply about twice a day but could probably get away with once, also no rash! Although skin sensitivity varies, so to each their own. Best wishes 😁

When my littles do have to make dioramas for school, we will do the box in this format so when it comes back home, we can put it on the bookshelf instead of it getting thrown away or destroyed in their rooms. Hell Yeah! Wish I had thought of this with my older boys that are already out of school.
