I like how some diy sketchbooks you do this 1. Tear from sketchbook 2. Put together 3. Brand new sketchbook (no offense)

[@Jenasketchbook]

Lmao I felt that way when I made this sketchbook. But I wanted to have a more travel friendly sketchbook so the large one made some sacrifices lol!

I know this is a year old (sorry), but to be fair (at least in my case) I have a lot of spiralbound sketchbooks that were gifts from family or friends, and I personally don't like spiralbound anymore. I much prefer being able to draw across the book on both pages uninterrupted. So to me, reusing a spiralbound's paper to make my own sketchbook is both fun, and means those spiralbound books don't just get left in a drawer somewhere forever unused, especially because some of them have pretty good paper :>

@@sketch8433 I completely agree, I just thought it was funny

Good job ! ✨

[@Jenasketchbook]

Thanks! I hope you give it a try! I have made a few new once since posting this video and they always turn out pretty neat :3 you can use regular Elmer’s glue too if you don’t have wood glue!

[@izzy-vw3xu]

I love how u showed it with glue instead of sewing the bind part or whatever that's called😂

[@Jenasketchbook]

Yeah! I used wood glue on the spine! I guess bind is another word for the process lol idk 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@izzy-vw3xu]

artist yea spine, that's the word I was looking for😂

[@Jenasketchbook]

@@izzy-vw3xu glad I could help lol!

[@izzy-vw3xu]

artists hehe ya

[@izzy-vw3xu]

artists hehe yea

[@izzy-vw3xu]

I will try this it seems fun😁

[@kylenieb4946]

epic style

[@usakumyaa]

Do I have to fold my paper pages? I've got some paper sheets that are the size of what I want my sketchbook to be, but I can't fold them.

[@Jenasketchbook]

Good question! I have actually made a tiny sketchbook with unfolded pages, and it worked just fine! I just made super sure all the pages were perfectly lined up before adding the glue :)

[@LilfoxTheHybridHylian5967]

Oh...yh I made my own also

[@merlynvilo8733]

Thanks for the vid btw nice my siis elizabeth vilo

[@elizabethvilo407]

I love this😍

[@Jenasketchbook]

Awe thanks ^_^

[@ryeu8154]

Is wood glue much better than ordinary glue?

[@Jenasketchbook]

Not really! I’ve used both wood glue and elmers glue on separate books and both work just fine!:)

[@da3ena]

does it have to be wood
glue

[@Jenasketchbook]

It doesn’t have to be, but I just wanted to try it out. I’ve actually used regular elmers glue before and it worked fine! You just have to add more layers to the spine between coats :)

[@da3ena]

@@Jenasketchbook thank you, i will try it out then!!!!!!!!

[@Jenasketchbook]

Eek I hope you have fun!! I’d love to know how it turned out :3 you can tag me on IG if you share it!

[@sheilamaymaygingoyon]

Please make me one skech book please because my parents can't buy me a sketch book😢😢....

[@pollensycho]

PUSHEEEEEN

[@Jenasketchbook]

:3 I love pusheen

[@Gab-yn5qt]

does a school glue will be okay?

[@Jenasketchbook]

I have actually tried elmers glue with a smaller size before and it worked! I think it just needs more layers and time to dry in between the layers :)

[@Kissmy_axe26]

New sub lol 😃

[@Jenasketchbook]

Welcome! I hope you enjoy the rest of your day :) thank you for subbing ✨
