The one week sketchbook is a little sketchbook with few pages which idea is to do a daily drawing on it. In this post I want to relate you what I did and where I got the idea.

I found this tutorial in Youtube meanwhile I was searching how to use watercolors.

Hello hello! This time, I want to relate you how I made the little sketchbook I show in the thumbnail. It is something very simple and actually don't take to much time.

When I'm going to draw, I always struggle in front of big pages size, and this type of sketchbook is a perfect and a cute solution to my problem. I want to take back my daily practice but since I finished my last sketchbooks, I found difficult to find motivations to draw new things.

The original tutorial video I didn't found it. So, I decide to watch the video over and over again until I could infer the process,

And here I show you the step by step of how I did it.

In fact, this little sketchbook supposes to have 10 pages, but in my case it has 20. I have added more than suppose to be.

Materials

The materials I used were:

Color cardboard.
Sketchbook paper. I used one from a block I barely use.

A needle, yarn and a pin.
Scissors, glue and a ruler, just in case.

Process!

First, I took the sketchbook paper and I folded it in half. No one by one, all at the same time.

With a ruler, I made some measures for determine where the yarn is going to pass through, to be honest; I made the measures where I thought it look better.

The little holes I made it with a pin, with this I pass through all the pages at once.

Then, with the needle and the yarn, I passed through the little holes I had previously done. I made this twice. The idea is to make a strong seam but without harming the paper.

I sew in the same way the cardboard. I put it around the folded sketchbook paper, and then I attached it with a seam. At this point, it looks like a little sketchbook.

My cardboard was bigger than my sketchbook papers, so I cut it around to fit the size of the pages. This can be do with a cutter or a razor blade, but I don't have nothing of that so I used a scissor.
