What is Reddit's opinion of Wooden Squares for Crafts, Panel Board (8 x 8 in, 8-Pack)?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Hey guys! After seeing various booknooks here on Reddit I decided to give one a try. I wanted to do something different than a city/alleyway(those ones are AMAZING), and since I haven't really seen any forest/nature related ones I would give that a shot.

Here is a gallery of some photos I took throughout the process.

You can pretty much gather how I went about crafting it using the pictures but one specific thing didn't photograph was building the little huts. I went and scavenged some fallen twigs and cut them up into small pieces. Then I used some chipboard(thin like cardboard) and made a small base so I can glue the twigs around it. The roof part I just stood a twig up on the back of it and put a bit if hot glue and started piling more twigs on top.

Here are some materials I used that I just got off of amazon.

Wood to build the booknook structure

-These are 8"x8" boards that I ended up only needing to make one single cut one on one piece. I cut one board in half to use for the top and bottom. I also used two 4"x1" scrap pieces of wood to raise the bottom platform so I could stash the battery supply for the lighting.

-I printed some forest picture I found on google and used Mod Podge to mount it to the board. You will also be able to use the mod podge for all your various wilderness decorations:

Fake grass

Rocks, bushes, moss

I used broken branches to make the trees and then some self hardening clay to form the root structures at the base.

The lighting part was the most daunting to me. I was browsing various mini railroad websites and was thinking about wiring custom lights here and there but honestly it was too much work and I thought hanging some lights with rope would look cool so I went with some LED string lights. To hide the metallic wire I wrapped it up in some twine. The wire itself is super thing so I ran it up between the side board from the bottom underneath the platform and started it behind one of the trees to hide it.

​

This was super fun to make and after making this one I have some other ideas and now know what I would do differently! Hope some of this info helps anyone looking to make one and if you have any questions let me know. I am no expert or anything so there are a ton of things I could have done better but you gotta start somewhere.
