PERFECT BOUND MINI SKETCHBOOKS DIY - MAKE YOUR OWN USING SIMPLE MATERIALS

These tiny sketchbooks are so fun to make and don't require any complicated or expensive materials either! Perfect as taking with you for some plein air painting or sketching, or for a beautiful gift for someone special. I made a mistake by saying the card I used was a 12 x 12 inch pad, it was actually a 6 x 6 inch pad, which you can clearly see in the video lol Sorry about that. I also want to mention that these sketchbooks work really well with canvas paper as shown rather than normal paper as the pages will hold better in the glue as they are thicker. Be aware of this.

Not an advert and none of the products shown are sponsored, all items shown have been bought by myself and all opinions are my own, but I used the following materials by the following companies:
180gsm Paper Pad 6 x 6 Inches by HobbyCraft (not 12 x 12! oops)
A5 Mixed Media Canvas Paper by Daler Rowney
A4 coloured card/paper 160gsm by HobbyCraft
PVA glue or Elmer's glue
Ruler, pencil, old brush + stanley knife or guillotine
