But, some of them I’m not going to read anymore. One, I love books and have a ton of them. I’m using an old book cover for my DIY sketchbook for a couple of reasons. Since I’ve been making my own I always have what I need. I have bought oh so many sketchbooks and other it has the wrong paper or it’s the wrong size. The sketchbook is light enough to pack in my purse and take around town I can quickly make my sketches and then paint them in when I have time. I often use my DIY sketchbooks as watercolor journals. Since you control the paper that goes in, you can control what type of art supplies you can use. Does that make sense? The more involved you are with all areas if your art, the more your art begins to bloom.Īlso, making your own DIY sketchbook means you can control what type of paper goes into it, how big it is, and how it looks on the outside.ĭIY sketchbooks don’t have to be just for sketching, either. It makes creating art a bit more magical because my creativity went into creating the sketchbook I’m creating in. Please click my disclosure policy to learn more.
