How to Make a Sketchbook- Part 1

BOOK SEWING DIAGRAM: www.transientart.com BASIC ITEMS NEEDED: -Paper -Scissors or a Paper Cutter -Ruler -Pencil -Glue (Any PVC glue will work, most craft glues work too, like Elmer's white glue. As long as the glue is strong and flexible when dry) -Awl (Something else small and pointy will work well too, a pushpin, needle, etc.) -Needle & Thread (Waxed thread is strong and easier to control, but dental floss can work too) -Bone Folder (A big blunt object will suffice) -Chip Board or Binder's Board -Heavy Books -Clips OPTIONAL -Decorative Paper and or Fabric -Ribbon -Misc. Decorations This is one a several different ways to bind a book. It's pretty easy to add your own personal twist when it comes to making a book.

READ THIS WHOLE THING ----DO NOT use nail art glue or crafting glue on a natural nail because it peels right off. you must use it over acrylic, gel, or at least 2 coats of COMPLETELY DRIED polish. if you dont, all of your work will be lost. after you are done designing.... topcoat 2x. you make an art sandwich with the foil. foil comes off very easily if you dont prepare and cover correctly..the foil glue and foils you order dont come with directions....this is more of a crafting technique and must be done like this or you have a big mess. here is another way to do a crackle polish look that gives you 3 dimensional shine and glam. very hip. very NOW. i like doing this. i want to do more of this type of look in different ways, so keep an eye out. robinmosesnailart.blogspot.com www.youtube.com www.facebook.com robinmoses.com http SHOW MEYOUR ART YOU'VE LEARNED FROM MY TUTORIALS! @ my facebook group page robinmosesnailart please take time to join here: nailartgallery.nailsmag.com and become my fan so young artists and others looking to learn can find me. its fast, easy and you dont have to validate email and stuff, it really helps me a lot. thank you so much you guys!
