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.

 

Check out this video tutorial for instructions: https://youtu.be/tn_Hq4nfOk8?t=72

               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 :)
