Description I want to share this with everybody because I am loving it~

Always wanted custom sized sketchbooks, specifically pocket sized, but I never could find anything just right!
So I wanted to make my own, and tried the tutorials on the internet, but found everything too complicated, fancy, and time consuming!
This is the quick and easy solution! Hope you guys like it!

Edit: Oh my goodness, this got really popular! Thank you EVERYONE~ I hope many are helped by this tutorial! ^-^

SomniumAstrum In reply to MisttheWarrior [2012-09-04 11:38:34 +0000 UTC]

Pretty good. I didn't make it as thick as this one either though because it was a test. One day I'll make a thicker one.

Not only should you trace the paper within the book (when making the cover), but if you have lots of paper, you should probably add the width of the spine.

MisttheWarrior In reply to IronNarwhal [2012-09-03 23:34:34 +0000 UTC]

You're right, which is why I didn't add details on measuring.
I actually find it better if there is a teeny bit less cover than paper. The cover just tends to get annoying if it is too long.

I can see your point xD

Whilexx [2012-09-03 22:23:07 +0000 UTC]

I am TOTALLY doing this. It would be cool to like get some of that scrapbooking paper or something similar to put on top to make it fancy.

KatMcMuffin [2012-09-03 22:08:19 +0000 UTC]

This is so cool Definitely will try this.
The only thing I would do differently is I would glue the side instead of the top, and then glue it to the cover so its more like a real book. But this way is also very creative and I like how you can rip stuff out

MisttheWarrior In reply to KatMcMuffin [2012-09-03 23:38:07 +0000 UTC]

Yup! You could certainly do that.

stephnator [2012-09-03 21:49:22 +0000 UTC]

very cute and simple XD is there anything you can use to smear off the glue?

like another piece of paper or your own finger?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

MisttheWarrior In reply to stephnator [2012-09-03 23:37:27 +0000 UTC]

You probably don't want to smear it, just dab at it. I personally just shook it off onto some scrap paper.
