Create your own Sketch Book!

I had to create my own sketchbook in sketching for communications last week. Here are the materials and steps needed in order to make your own.

Materials:

• Elmer's white glue



• Card stock 2-4 pieces



• Paper 50+ pieces



• cardboard



• Scissors



• Design Accessories (pencils, paint, construction paper etc)



• Heavy Book.

How Its done:

1. Cut all your paper in half (including cardstock)



2. Cut a small piece of cardboard to go around the edge of your book. This will be the spine.



3. Aline all of your paper & place the cardstock on the front & back of your book.



4. glue the paper where you'd like to place the spine then apply the cardboard over top of the glue.



5. Place a heavy book on top of your drying sketchbook and wait till it dries.



6. Once your book is in one piece you can begin designing your sketchbook and make it look however you please!
