Sketchbooks
The brief was to make a sketchbook out of old annual books to make a hard front and back cover. For the filling pages of the sketchbook we used odd bits of paper and card that we could find and organised them into groups of 4 pages called signatures. Once we had organised the paper and the covers we had to punch holes into them at specific points with a bradawl. after that we stitched all the pages and covers together using a coptic stitch and the final product was our own class room made sketchbook. (see above for the one i actually made).
I liked this as a first task to do because it was easy and enjoyable and we ended up with something that we could actually use.
