1. Make a Leather-Bound Necklace

How beautiful are these DIY miniature books? The cover, as you can see, is made of leather scraps. The fun part is the weathered detailing, as shown by the edges of the cover and the title. You can achieve this using only gold permanent marker. Simply dab around the edges of the cover or draw some squiggly lines along the center. Smudge them for a vintage effect.

6. Use Fabric Covers

Apart from beautiful paper and leather scraps, fabric is also a great option for DIY miniature book covers. Small fabric pieces with gorgeous floral patterns would be perfect for Victorian-inspired miniature books. Some fabrics have fun cartoon-style illustrations and those would work for mini children's books as well.

7. Include Illustrations

Most miniature book or notebook tutorials will give you instructions only on assembly and basic structure. This means that mini book DIYs usually leave the pages blank. But if you want your dollhouse or book project to have a fun surprise, giving the pages a real-life look is highly recommended. One way to go about it is to provide illustrations for the inside pages. You can draw them yourself or print an actual illustrated book.
