thefrugalcrafter Lindsay Weirich | Let's Make a Sketchbook! Easy, Beginner Coptic Stitch Tutorial @thefrugalcrafter | Uploaded July 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
This project makes perfect use of 2 sheets of 22"x30" watercolor paper but you can use any paper you want and make it any size you like using this tutorial. Using 2 large sheets of quality watercolor paper will give you a sketchbook that's better than anyone you can buy and you can even use a mix of papers if you like. You can probably scrounge up tools from your home to make this project but I have a supply list below if you need anything. If you are new a basic bookbinding kit will be the most economical. Let's get started!
Supplies (affiliate links to Blick and Amazon provided)
Paper (22"x30" 100% cotton 140# is my choice) shrsl.com/4mi9u
Bookboard or Mat board: amzn.to/3LGSUxE (you can glue together a couple of cereal boxes instead of buying this, just be sure to cover them with an acid-free paper and glue to buffer them.
This tool kit contains the tools and thread you need: amzn.to/4d4kUHJ
OR you can buy things individually
Waxed thread: amzn.to/4c4oYGk
Bone Folder: amzn.to/3ykRjuq
Embroidery Needles: amzn.to/3WndFDr
Awl (pokey tool) amzn.to/3SrfPRr
Optional: A heavy Duty hole punch is wonderful for covers: amzn.to/4fly7xj
Craft knife and cutting mat: amzn.to/3WwZ3BM
Scissors
Metal ruler: amzn.to/4foxXoH
Scrapbook paper (optional)
Band-aids LOL!
Permanent glue stick (if you are covering your book boards) amzn.to/3SppibS OR you can use acid free glue and a brush
optional cover tool I mentioned;
amzn.to/4d34BL1
