Sep 20,2025 | Rolife Team
The holiday season is all about creating magical moments that last a lifetime - whether it is the twinkling lights, the sound of carolers, or the warmth of your family gathered around the Tree. One of the best ideas to make a Christmas mood is a DIY Christmas Book Nook.
Whether you’re new to Rolife Kits or you’ve been a diehard fan, this guide will show you how to make your corner into a festive mini bookshelf that will be treasured for years to come.
Materials You Will Need
Before you start making your holiday book nook tutorial, you might want to make sure you have the necessary materials you will need.
- A Rolife DIY Christmas Book Nook Kit (such as Rolife Christmas Street, Rolife Christmas Indoor Scene.) Each kit comes with pre-cut, eco-friendly materials, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable building experience.
- Craft glue or wood glue (not needed if your kit doesn’t need glue)
- Mini paintbrushes (optional)
- Acrylic paints (optional)
- Tweezers to place tiny details
- Batteries to power your LED lights
- Holiday (garlands, snowflakes, etc.) decorations.
- Cotton for texture (optional)
How to Design Your Christmas Scene

What do you associate with Christmas? Do you envision a snowy village street lined with lampposts from the beginning to the end? Does the picture of the warm-up workshop of Santa come to mind? Do you think of a Christmas living room with stockings by the fireplace?
- Select a Rolife kit that triggers your imagination.
- Choose a festive color palette that resonates with you—classic reds and greens for a traditional look, or icy blues and whites for a snowy winter wonderland.
- Don’t hesitate to add your personal touch with DIY miniature accessories like tiny presents, wreaths, or even homemade garlands.
The good part? Rolife kits have modular pieces, so you can rearrange to suit your imagination.
How to Assemble Your Book Nook
Follow these instructions to put together your Christmas Wonderland Book Nook.
- Every Rolife kit is supplied with clear instructions that are easy to follow and understand. Familiarize yourself with this instruction.
- Begin to assemble the bottom of your kit. This part is what provides structural support.
- Then, mount the walls and other structural components, e.g. doors, shelves, and windows (where necessary).
- When your kit involves glue, it is best to test-fit every piece and then glue it so that you do not make an error.
- When applying glue, use the correct tool. A small brush will help in accurate gluing.
- Add lights early, but test to make sure they work before the last part. This will give your Christmas bookshelf decoration a magical radiance.
Adding Decorations for the Holidays
The next step is the interesting part - the time to adorn your festive mini bookshelf. Here’s how to do it:
- To achieve a realistic snowy effect, sprinkle white paint or glitter over rooftops and trees, or use cotton to mimic fluffy snowdrifts. For a magical touch, add mini holiday garlands or twinkling fairy lights.
- To make it look and feel natural, when it comes to holiday accents, small garlands, wreaths, or mini presents should be used.
- In order to give it a texture, make curtains and scarves of fabric scraps to look more realistic.
- Use metallic accents to add sparkle to your DIY Book Nook.
