This lavish, dark themed collection oozes old-world charm! It’s a must-have for anyone who wants to create sumptuous antique dollhouse books in 1:12 scale.

This is a PDF image file (.pdf). It is an INSTANT digital download of 24 ornate miniature book covers (no inner pages).

There are 12 book covers on each of the 2 sheets. The download can be printed on A4 or 8.5″ x 11″. The books (when assembled) are 36mm x 28mm in size. The spine is wide enough to hold 40 mini pages of copy paper (not included in this download).

For best results, this printable should be printed on white cardstock paper (65lb/176gsm) – https://amzn.to/33j2fc9 . Please see further details under product ‘Description’.

These DIY mini books portray magical ancient Medieval codex manuscripts which were bigger than the books we know today. The covers are in correct 1:12 scale. They are easy to cut and separate along the fine white line between each cover. These little printable treasures are perfect for any dollhouse library or mini diorama!

I also offer FREE end papers to use with these book covers, creating a complete Medieval look!

For inner book pages, you can either use:

Medieval Illuminated Bible Pages https://ladyminiac.com/product/mini-medieval-illuminated-bible-pages/   or

Mini Medieval Manuscript Pages https://ladyminiac.com/product/mini-medieval-book-pages/

Both collections make beautiful mini books!

    Great little covers, they are bigger than I needed but even cut in half look really nice (I’m sure I could shrink them down but I’m not tech savvy). The details are very good and the colours are vibrant, they make the other books covers that came in the set with my diy book nook kit look dull! The next mini library project I make will be stocked with only Lady Maniac book covers.

      Thank you so much, Shannon! Such kind words… I’m so happy to hear that you’re happy with them! 👏🏼📚😊

      If you want to reduce them to 1:24 scale, I’ve suggested the following to customers and it’s worked well for them:

      1. I use Adobe Acrobat Reader as my default PDF viewer… I have more options to change size and other printing preferences. My other Viewer did not!

      2. When in ‘Print’ file, choose Custom Scale 50%

      3. Click on ‘Pages’… choose Page 1 only

      4. Make sure the paper is snug against the top / bottom of the tray. Print the first page (Page 1). Take that printed page and turn it over in the printer tray so as to face correctly (determine the way your printer needs to draw and roll paper through. First practice with a blank piece of paper and mark it to track the direction). Make sure the paper is snug against the top/bottom of the tray again. Then print page 2 on the back of the first page. You’ll have the back to back printing as you did in 1:12 scale!

      I hope this can work for you too…! 💗 Enjoy 📕📖
