Thrift Book Upcycle: DIY Cute Dog Sketchbook!

🐶📒 I found a silly "Test Your Dog's IQ" book at the thrift store and gave it a new life as a custom sketchbook featuring my dog, Kona! Watch how I transformed the book by removing pages, making a personalized cover from a calendar photo, and binding it with the Cinch. A fun and easy upcycling project for dog lovers and art enthusiasts! 🩵 Support My Channel on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sealemon 💛 Become a YT Channel Member: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGbxOeCBuGSsKvt4g9lEv3A/join THINGS MENTIONED • My Patterned Paper Shop*: https://bit.ly/SeaZazzle • More Book Makeovers: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpKVHhjWeQ69eNmqmtXBgIaeoleRG3q_q • DIY Book Projects Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL3AA6B7C8E6CE4AEF • Bookbinding Methods & Stitches Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2F704E01F80BA1E9 • Bookbinding Supplies, Substitutes & Tips Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL179BD249EB2CF650 SUPPLIES • We R Memory Keepers Mini Cinch*: https://amzn.to/3KYM9Wb • Cinch wire (0.75" rose gold)*: https://amzn.to/3xH9Cr6 • Grapefruit pattern paper (satin): https://www.zazzle.com/z/a8lj768n?rf=238665715736963227 • Cardstock (5"x7" 40 sheets)*: https://amzn.to/3vtLhCc • Elmer's extra strength glue stick*: https://amzn.to/3vxZCNU • Cutting mat*: https://bit.ly/3DwgMzM • Craft knife*: https://amzn.to/3hc9hDf • Scissors*: https://amzn.to/3xG1UNY • Bone folder*: https://amzn.to/3JUpmcx • Brayer*: https://amzn.to/3rH7ifJ • Paper trimmer*: https://amzn.to/3HhKcRH • 6" Ruler*: https://amzn.to/389bmi5 • Nonaka Japanese Screw Punch*: https://amzn.to/3pEtlTb 📦 Shop My Favorite Supplies on Amazon*: https://www.amazon.com/shop/sealemon 🛒 Shop Bookbinding Supplies on Etsy*: https://bit.ly/4870CNl 🛍️ My Etsy Shop*: https://bit.ly/4ci1TU7 📄 My Scrapbook Paper Shop: https://www.zazzle.com/sealemon CHAPTERS 0:00 Original Book & Plan 1:21 Removing & Prepping Chipboard 1:52 Recycling Old Calendar for New Cover 2:42 Wrapping the Back Cover 4:21 Making the Front Cover 4:31 Cutting 5"x7" Inside Pages 4:44 Wire Coil Binding with Mini Cinch Tool 7:52 Final Sketchbook!
