How To: Miniature Doll Sized Hard Cover Book 

"Bone folder" sounds like a really cool fighter name

As a bookbinder, I really do like your attention to details on these. It is of course simplified, but it is very close to some types of bookbinding. Great job!

Oh my gosh yes please for a chair and table set!!! *then maybe kawaii tea cups???*

i feel like you should do a doll-sized doll. irony.

It doesn't only look professional, the technique you used was almost professional itself! I should know, I study printing and publishing and I've made (regular sized) hardcover books using somewhat similar method to this :) Great job, the minibooks came out beautifully! ^ - ^ May I make a request for a future video? You did do a video explaining what kind of materials you need for proper doll face-ups, but what would you personally recommend people should get first, like basic mostly fit for all -materials? Because sometimes people could be short on money and would like to get a little more specific recommendations about what they really need ^^ Keep your videos coming, I love your face-ups, they inspire me so much! I am planning on making my first face-up but I live in Finland and it's so cold here I might just need to wait for spring or summer to come, since the sealants are otherwise hard to apply without ruining the piece.

Another cool thing I've seen done is before you glue on the paper to your spine, you can add a tiny thin ribbon as a bookmark. You can also (very carefully) paint the edges of your textblock with stuff like gold acrylic paint while you have it clamped together (and before you put on the cover).

This is AWESOME! Thank you! The first mini I made as a child (about 6-7), was a book. I turned it into a floral journal and taped in confetti leaves and flowers like they were collected and squished between pages so this made me really happy. Mine wasn't anywhere near this quality, of course. Haha, thanks!! ^_^

do you think you could make something similar to a small pencil and paper set? like something for some one who doodles.

So glad this is still here 7 years later for me to find it. I have started doll customizing and I am also doin a side project with mini books in it. I would not have gotten started without your videos!

That ending XD

this is exactly how i make full sized books ^-^

I'm so glad I followed you! I can already see you're going to make some adorable stuff!!

Yay miniatures! I'd love to see more accessories tutorials.

Don't mind me. Just going back and supporting one of my favorite creators while she's on maternity leave by going back and interacting with her content.

I;d like to see armor! Not like sexy armor, but armor armor. Make a badass armor set! Keep it ethereal if you like though. Like an angels armor?

I would LOVE to see a chair or a table or something. @_@ I'm definitely gonna try this when I have more time!

XD the end I can't stop laughing XD

Now that was a truly fantastic and clever mini boo tutorial. I particularly love the loops for the doll to be able to hold the books. I will have to do that with some of my books as well. Great job!

I clicked on the video..... Loved it ...... Then said I'm making it 100 %

Excellent tiny books for your dolls Dollightful

This is amazing! You can draw, make dolls, create videos, ALL AT THE SAME DAY!!!!

I would definitely LOVE to see more accessories for dolls! 😍

You did a great job. My BF's mother used to restore old book, now I know how she did it. It looks hard.

When i was young I used to make "books" by stapling little papers together. This helps a lot.

This brings me back to my college classes in binding printed pieces. I really want to try making tiny books now.

that ending though XD

I would LOVE to see other videos for making various tiny things for dolls!

These are absolutely adorable! I'd love to see more tutorials for doll furniture/accessories.

I NEED MOOOOOORRRRRREEEE 😀

So cute I'm going to make some for my Alice in wonderland doll for my friends Christmas gift

I came back to this one after watching your recent Halloween repaint. I've been working on customizing a couple of 1:9 scale barns; I cut out actual horse book covers from some magazine ads, and glued them to thin cardboard. But I want to make them look more like books. Since I don't have the back covers I'll use your faux leather spine technique from that other video, so at least there will be some volume to them. I have a fantastic book called "Know Your Horse Inside and Out" that I'm going to scan front and back covers, spine and a few pages and then resize; I'll use this technique to make it a readable book for my riders.

Table and chairs!! Like a tiny tea party!

Can you make a bunk bed next PLEASE.

these books are so cute, now i can make a full library for my dolls!

They look so realistic!

I love that fancy blue paper. My daughter loves this idea and all your other videos!

This is so easy to make and requires simple supplies!! Thank you for showing us this tutorial!!!

Sweet now my dolls can have a library!

Cupid?? *Cupid falls* CUPIIIIIIII- *video ends*

You have such a neat channel, and your work is so beautiful. I can't wait to see more stuff. ^^ Also, TINY BOOKS!

These look great! I’d love to see what other accessories you make for your dolls, because these are great!

You are such a delight to watch and well...listen to. These books came out perfect. I love all of your vids and your cat is adorable,love his little guest appearances. LOL at the end of this video . im still giggling

i didnt know i wanted this so bad. theyre soo cute when you pose them like theyre reading!!! can you do play supermarket props, like raw meat and stuff? can you do a tutorial of like a ray gun? like star trek phasers or any kinda ray gun youd wanna do. im making a martian girl doll and I wanna give her cute lil props too.

Thank you so much for this! I wabt to see more like it. The books look so realistic.

Beautiful job. I'm a librarian by trade and we were taught basic bookbinding and archival book repair that is very close to what you've done here. You could also use thin scrap leather for the covers if you want that old spellbook look. I really enjoy your work.

Omg I love the design for the book at 7:19!!

Although not specifically for dolls, I’ve been wanting to make tiny books for years! Thank you for this. I LOVE your dolls, by the way.

I would love to see more mini prop/set tutorials!

And I love hard cover books that are small

You are so talented! Thank you for sharing this neat work with us.

This was the first Dollightful video I saw!

I love these little books and can’t wait to try making some myself! As someone else said, they look so authentically professional. I have enjoyed watching your videos for some time and have learned a lot. Thank you for sharing your talents and for all of the work you put into your videos. You have inspired me to try new things and I just want to say thank you!

This video is SO satisfying to watch! love it!😍😍

I love everything you make! Please make more tutorials; furniture would be awesome!

WHY EVERYTHING SO REALISTIC I'M GETTING BLINDED AAAAAA 😵😵😵😵😵

You impress me every time I watch your videos 👏👏

Haha, i love your taste in salsa

Miniature table and chairs would be awesome, I would love you to make a miniature tea set 😁

Such a cute book. You are very talented

those books. . .are adorable

no problem i love all ur diys and repaints and thank u for making this and commenting back

I'm only watching this because, when I was a little girl, I had an old American Girl Doll. But, because the doll itself was about $300, I didn't have any accessories. I'd make my own! I'd ask for an adult to help and make her tiny copies of my favorite books. :) I saw this and all the memories just slammed back

Going back and watching every video I haven't seen 😂😂 wanna do it all before bed but know I'm not gonna make it . I'm only doing it because I love your videos aha! X

Thanks old Dollightful! I'm trying to make a sorceress doll and this really came in handy for a spell book!

I love these!! Also a chair tutorial would be greatly appreciated!! (Love your work!😊)

Just made two adorable mini books!!! Imma make and Instagram post too!

This is awesome! I enjoyed watching you create something of beauty! Keep it up!

they can be use as mini diaries too. And you can actually carry them easier than a normal one

I love this so much I have been watching your video all day you have inspire me

I LOVE these books, thank you!!!

These look fantastic! Thanks for a wonderful tutorial! :)

Please make more doll furniture!!! You should also make doll clothes, too!

These books are so freaking cute

Omg i wish i saw this sooner I just finished researching how to make actual books to try this XD at least im saved from all the trial and error!!! Thanks!

I don't make dolls or anything close to it. I probably never will but that being said. I found this so helpful. Like I think I could make a tiny book now if I wanted lol.

I want more tutorials of objects and yes a bookshelf too

I’d like to see a tea set 😁

Very cool techniques! 👌🏼 ty

At this point...... I just want Dollightful to make an entries doll house and show us.

Wow another great tutorial. And the book is so sturdy. You’re awesome thanks!

Honestly I REALLY want to see dollightful do a role play with the dolls

The first time I saw her incredible videos I thought her channel name was Lightbulb ! 😂😂😂 I had to go to her channel page and check! 😊 Sorry, but if it makes you feel any better your videos are incredible and I binge watch them! Please never stop making your videos because you are awesome! 😄😄😄 You Go Girl! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
