Journey Trace Bookshop DIY Miniature House Kit 7 in by Wizardi F07M51-89-CWGC204

A deep blue corner bookshop under a Journey Trace Bookshop sign, its side wall stamped with a gold traveller carrying a lantern: an arched fanlight and a door that opens show shelves of classics, travel guides and maps, a framed Eiffel Tower souvenir and stacks of postcards, while a vintage camera, a suitcase, a Welcome board and a wooden signpost to faraway places wait on the brick step.

A little crafter's folklore: travellers say every journey starts on a bookshop shelf, and miniaturists like to point the signpost towards their next holiday.

Why this kit: if you love travel and books, this shop is full of maps, souvenirs and wanderlust, glowing warmly behind its blue door.

In the box: pre-cut wooden pieces for the shopfront, opening door and interior, printed paper details, miniature furniture and tiny accessories, an LED light with a touch switch and a hidden battery case, and an illustrated instruction manual. Not included: batteries, glue and small tools such as tweezers.

Part of a little bookshelf shop series that stands among your books, each with an opening door that keeps the dust out: try it with The Astrology Bookshop or Jack's Bookery. Build tip: build the inner shelves and back room first, stock them with the tiny props before closing the shopfront, and fit the touch-switch light last.

Size: 15.5 x 16 x 18 cm (6.1 x 6.3 x 7.1 in). A charming shelf display that sits neatly beside your books, and a sweet gift. Recommended for ages 14 and up.
