Little Paper Shops

Aimed at crafters and enthusiasts of all things cute and creative, this book provides the templates for painting and then constructing a little street of miniature shops. Who doesn't love the nostalgic pleasure of discovering the perfect little shop? Urban Anna has captured this feeling perfectly in her unique artwork of storefronts from around the world, celebrating the joy of independent, specialist businesses with adorable bespoke signage, details and architectural features. Using this book, you can paint and construct each tiny shop for yourself. The opening section walks you through how to paint and assemble the little shops, including inspiring photos of finished pieces. Then you'll find ten line templates on 200gsm paper to slice out of the book and make your own versions. The selection will include a range of frontages from all over the world, from a Parisian boulangerie to tiled Dutch florist and Japanese noodle bar.
