Can I Create a Sketchbook From My Inktober Sketches?

Can you really turn loose Inktober sketches into a real sketchbook? Today I try a simple DIY bookbinding process with comic-book backing boards, sparkly vinyl, and PVA glue to see if I can bind my 2023 Inktober pages into one cohesive book. The results might surprise you! I have so much look artwork that I'm going to bind together into books now!

I use PVA glue—it’s flexible, archival, and perfect for sketchbooks because it won’t crack when you open the book. Q: Do I need a book press to make a sketchbook? Nope! I used one because one of my pages was warped. Binder clips or clamps work fine for most projects. Q: How do you make the covers? I cut comic-book backing boards to size and wrapped them in self-adhesive vinyl. You can also use chipboard, recycled covers, or any sturdy cardstock. Q: Why 5.5 inches square for the pages? My sketches were all different sizes, so trimming them down to a consistent 5.5” square made the binding easier and gave me a clean final book. Q: Can this method work for other art or journals? Yes! You can use the same process for loose sketches, zines, or even digital prints that you want to bind into a handmade book.
