How To Make a SUPER EASY Watercolor Sketchbook (No Sewing, Just Glue!)

Are you tired of store-bought watercolor sketchbooks that don’t lay flat, have an annoying gutter in the middle, or don't have good quality watercolor paper? In this tutorial, I'll show you how to turn loose sheets of watercolor paper into a beautiful, custom sketchbook using a simple method called Drum Leaf Binding.

With this Drum Leaf Binding method you can create a sketchbook that lays perfectly flat, so you can paint across full spreads without interruption. It’s a beginner-friendly project that gives you the freedom to make a sketchbook with your favorite paper and with whatever size and number of pages you prefer. Make it exactly how you want it!

In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the supplies needed, step-by-step instructions, and share why this bookbinding technique is perfect for watercolor artists that want to make their own sketchbooks.
