Sketchbook Binding!

Help me give my students learn to bind their own sketch/watercolor books. The colored paper serves as the cover, the plastic needles and waxy thread weave in and out of the 5-hole punched papers to form a book.

My Project

In my class, they will be able to walk away with a book full of their school artworks and sketches. Students can become authors and illustrators themselves. Also, it is valuable for them to learn a forgotten artistic craft. My students are the leaders of tomorrow and they deserve the best.

Thank you for considering giving to my art class!

I appreciate your enthusiasm for supporting young, creative, and impressionable minds.

These kits and other materials will make a difference in their learning whereas books can't really be made without some sewing and lots of paper.
