Products for Home Assembly

"I like to make your miniature books." - Luciane B., Denton, TX

The products shown on this page are the products that we currently need people to assemble. When you get a kit, you can choose any of these products to assemble. The pictures do not show the actual size of the item.


Product Difficulty Ratings

One of the most often asked questions is "How difficult are the products?" or "What is a good product for a beginner?" So, we've rated the products with pink stars to give you some idea of how easy or difficult the products are to assemble. The ratings go from 1 star (*) to 5 stars (*****) with 1 star being the easiest and 5 stars being the hardest. Products with 1, 2 or 3 stars are considered to be beginner products. Products with 4 or 5 stars are for assemblers with some experience. These ratings are just an estimate because things that some people find difficult are easy for others. The rating stars appear at the end fo the listing for each product.

Every kit comes complete with these items:

  • Complete, detailed assembly instructions.
  • A disposable knife for cutting out the parts.
  • Plastic bags to put each completed item in.
  • Some extra materials to cover for practice or some mistakes.
  • A form for requesting extra materials at no charge, if they are needed to complete the work on this kit.
  • A payment request form. You send this to us when you finish your work. It lets us know if you want your deposit back or if you want a new kit to be sent instead.

Some kits come with:

  • A bottle of glue. If the kit requires gluing then a small bottle of Elmer's glue is included.
  • A sample of the item. Kits marked "New" are often without a sample. But, remember that the first time you make a product you will be making a sample of your work and sending it to us to be checked at no cost. So, even if there is not a sample you'll be sure that you are making the product correctly.

No kits come with a stapler. When you finish an item (or a set of items for those products that have more than one item per set), you put the item or set in a small plastic bag. Click here to open a new window with some examples of completed, bagged products. You must have a regular desk-type stapler and staples to seal the tops of these plastic bags. Smaller staplers and staples are also acceptable.

Large Spiral Notebooks with Designs

A popular kit!

Miniature Spiral Notebook

Item TIN112X

Item TDL112X is Tiny Details' reproduction of a scholastic notebook with various designs on the front cover. .

This kit is more difficult than other kits and is not suggested for beginners. That is why we are paying $2 per notebook! This kit is similar to our other spiral notebook SET, but there is no steno pad in this kit. You only make the larger notebooks.

The notebook is made by cutting out the covers and six inside sheets of paper. The covers are made from a light cardstock and the inside sheets are made from regular paper. The spiral binding is made from wire that is supplied. It's wound around a nail (that is also supplied) to get it to be the right size and then it is threaded through the holes in the covers and inside sheets. Though not required, a small pair of wire cutters makes assembly of this kit easier.

In addition to the items shown at the top of this page, you will find the following in this kit:

  • sheets of notebook covers (enough to make about 120 of each)
