Intro

  • Hello, I would like to welcome you to the very first Vlog for Cogdill Concepts
  • I’m Michael Cogdill and thank you for joining me

Overview

  • In this quick and simple tutorial, we will cover an easy way to make your very own DIY sketchbook with your favorite paper.

 Materials List

  • Things you will need
  • Paper – I used arches cold press 140 lb paper, 22×30 inches resulting in 14 pages about 7 1/2 x 5 1/2
  • cardboard backing – paper pad backing or something similar approximately 16×12, making front and back covers 8×6 inches each
  • vinyl sticker paper, stickers, or something similar to wrap sketchbook covers
  • string – fishing line, yarn, dental floss, preferably strong and durable
  • push-pin, nail, something to punch holes in paper and through cardboard
  • heavy-duty scissors or utility knife and cutting mat
  • ruler
  • pencil

 Segment 1

  • I prefer to fold and tear the paper as opposed to cutting with scissors to keep the deckled edge look, especially with the paper I have chosen
  • Fold in half, back and forth until the paper is easily torn
  • Continue folding and tearing until you have torn all the pages into appropriate sizes
  • you may cut your paper if preferred, depending on your paper choice

Segment 2

  • Measure 8×6 inch covers for your sketchbook and make cut marks on the paper pad backing or cardboard
  • Cut out the front and back sketchbook covers
  • Wrap the covers in the vinyl sticker paper
  • Now that the paper and covers are completed, it is time to poke the holes through them

Segment 3

  • Measure approximately 1-1 1/2 centimeters from one of the papers edge and draw a line for a margin
  • Make four holes evenly spaced along the margin line
  • Push the push-pin through the marked spots
  • use this piece as the template for making the rest of the holes in the paper
  • Now make the holes in the covers using the paper template
  • You may need to use the push-pin first, followed by a nail to make the holes slightly larger

Segment 4

  • thread the string through the front cover, through all of the paper, and then through the back cover.
  • tie the string together leaving a small amount of slack enabling the book to open and close easily
  • Decorate your DIY sketchbook
  • Sketch and paint away!
