📚📔 Mini Medieval Manuscripts (Part 2) - DIY Books with Clasps & Chains - FREE printables!

Just like books created centuries ago, 1:12 scale mini Medieval manuscripts must also have accurate book details! In this DIY video tutorial with FREE printables, I show how to create three types of mini book clasps, as well as mini chains and metal finishings. Embellishments and chains are accurate to 1:12 scale... it makes ALL the difference to the finished product! 📗
These miniature books REALLY look and feel like Medieval manuscripts... completely functional with rounded spines, illuminated pages, working clasps and chains! How charming and fun they are to create!!! 💗
