I'm using tongue depressors, from work, to try to build a little modular bookshelf. The tongue depressors are 6" long and 3/4" wide. Perfect.
I've cut all of the pieces according to these dimensions. I used Jim's Miniature Scale Calculator to figure out the right scale. Now it's time to glue them together!
I want to thank Brave Designs for sharing the plans for their modular shelves! I'm hoping to build a miniature shelf like this one found on their website.
You can find more ideas for bookshelves and furniture at Brave Designs. I like this one the best!
Hi Kathi! First, thank you for your words. I do not know what is "spackle." I say as I have done: I used a paste that here in Spain is marketed under the name Aguaplast. It is a very fine cast. It is a powder that adding a few drops of water got a very fine paste. I have spread the paste on the table, a thin layer. When it has dried a bit, with a broad brush tip soft touches I have to get a rough effect, and I've drawn with a cutter shapes of the stones. I have not followed a template, I've been making eye! Once dry, I applied a gray stone color paint and then with a little darker and I have been painting black separations and edges to give volume. I hope you understand my English after very bad lol! Very good your work and your explanations Big hugs Ana

Looks like a fun project. I like the colors they used behind the shelves. I have not tried a 45 degree angle on thin wood like that before. Good luck!
An interesting project. Have fun making the shelves.
