DIY Mini Sketchbook Instructions

 

You are going to make two (2) DIY mini sketchbooks today.

You will use 5 sheets of drawing paper for each sketchbook.

You will use a pushpin to poke holes in the spine, then use your fingers to insert single staples, and use your ID card to flatten down the legs of the staples.

               Start at 1:12, Stop at 3:48

 

Some notes:

• We will not trim off the “page creep” because we are only using 5 sheets of paper
• You don’t need to use a ruler to mark where to poke the holes – use your staple as a measuring tool and mark how wide it is.
• You can have your staple arms on the inside or outside of the spine – go with your personal preference.

 

Unless you are a remote learner, keep one sketchbook in the classroom to use in September, and bring one home.

When you are finished you can start decorating your sketchbook or draw in it :)
