About this printable

Pastel cookbooks in macaron colours with invented French titles - Macarons, Petits Fours, Tartes, Choux - for a patisserie back shelf or a pretty kitchen.

Each strip matches a 900 mm real-world shelf, which is 75 mm at 1:12 and 150 mm at 1:6. Glue a strip to foam board for depth, or straight onto the back of a shallow shelf. Spine titles are invented and become decorative bars wherever they would print too small.
