Sketching & Painting: Making Your Own Sketchbooks

I needed a new sketchbook so it was time to make some new ones. Figured that was a perfect time to document the whole process I go through and share that information with fellow sketchers. I use 140lb/300 g/m² Fabriano Artistico cold press watercolor paper which I purchase in a 10-pack of 22"x30" sheets. One sheet yields one 32-page, 7 1/2" x 5" sketchbook which I then have spiral bound at our local UPS Store. This video shows the whole process.

Loved this video. Greatly appreciate the cm to be included, many people from the US don't do it. Also really loved your attitude, you seem like a man who could teach me a lot. Love from Spain!

@Marin0520, thank you. I love to teach people stuff. Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for commenting!

I'd use an old credit card or similar plastic card to spread the glue evenly down the paper. I make my own journals too. I have a spiral binding machine and kit.

Great idea. Lucky you with own full kit!

Very good instructions! 👍Thank you so much for sharing your skill. I'm so glad you decided to try bookbinding. I haven't bought a single sketchbook since I learned to bind my own. It's very satisfying and rewarding.

Excellent explanation and instructional video. Wonder if I could use cereal box cardboard for the cover pieces, then cover with some sort of acid free paper? Would weight be adequate for sketchbook about the same size as yours?

@BillBooz 17 дней назад

I should covered cereal box cardboard would work though it won’t be near as stiff. Maybe gluing two layers together would add some heft.

Thank you for sharing. This method worked best for me as well. I did something very similar when making my first watercolour sketchbook a couple of weeks ago. I even made a video documenting the process. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-g31LJFwR55k.htmlfeature=shared
