If you are like me and only want your favorite sketchbook on your travel instead of buying some random one the last minute, here is a lifesaver ;) This video shows you everything I did in the making of the sketchbook along with my mistakes :O and the fixes and workaround I did. I learnt a lot while making these : 1. get the right waxed thread 2. choose thicker paper for end pages I used a handmade one from Portugal although those papers are amazing and give the sketchbook a unique touch, may be for starters I could pick card-stock so that the glue wouldn't soften it so much. I am looking forward to making more handmade sketchbooks with the watercolor papers I have in hand. Let me know in the comments if you like more videos of book binding or of paint making. I am working on releasing a "making of gouache" video next. wohoo!

This is an amazing video I loved it, I would love to make my own hand made book at some point :)
It’s indeed a pleasure to make one for yourself. Thank you 🤩
