How to Make a Sketchbook Out of an Old Book

104 10

    Sketch Paper

    • 1). Cut the sketch paper to an appropriate size for the book.

    • 2). Use the glue stick to apply glue on the back of the sketch paper in a coloring motion. Pay special attention to the corners to ensure they won't come separated from the book page.

    • 3). Place the paper over the book page and smooth it out using a bone folder. Repeat the process to the other pages.

    Book Cover

    • 1). Determine a cover for the sketchbook that is 1 inch wider than the book. The cover may be from materials such as rice paper, fabric or book paper. Book paper made especially for books feels like a combination of paper and fabric.

    • 2). Cover the book by spreading a thin even coat of adhesive such as PVA, YES or methylcellulose on the surface of the paper for the book cover. Center the back of the book on top of the paper, lying flat.

    • 3). Fold the corners over the book corners and smooth out with a bone folder.

    • 4). Next, fold the sides over the sides of the book and smooth out to remove creases using the bone folder.

    • 5). Wrap the book in wax paper and set on a flat surface. Place something heavy on top such as a stack of books. Let dry overnight.
