To make your one page notebook, you'll need a scrap of paper for the cover. And this is just an old gift bag that I cut down because the paper was kind of a handmade look. And so this is just 11 by 15 centimeters. And all these measurements will be included on the class supply list under the bonus class section. So this is 11 by 15. I have my paintings, and then I have a piece of standard coffee paper, I can either use the white, or I happen to have one in like a lilac color and I think I'm going to use that because it's a fun look.

The only other tools that you'll need is some glue to attach your paper to your cover, a pair of scissors. And then lastly, I use some paper clips to hold my paintings in place so I can take them out as I need them. To make the book it's really simple. It just involves folding. So I take my paper and I fold it in half. And so I start with it in a landscape mode and I fold it right in half Side to side.

And this is where you want to just be a little careful to make sure your corners are touching nicely. I like to take it and then unfold it as well. And fold it over again, same fold, but just the opposite way. This gives me a nice crease. From here, I'll open up my paper and I'll fold it up and down. So now I have the paper folding up and down.

And again, the only thing that to be cautious about is lining up my corners. So to line up my corners, I line up my corners on both sides. And then I go right to the center and go out from the center point over a fold it in again. And then I'm going to fold it over again. One more time. Again, lining up those corners.

So corner to corner. And then I make that crease. I'll open it up one time. Make the crease On one side going in, and the other side going out, and this is not as complicated as it sounds, I'm just trying to make sure everything is creased in both directions. So then I'll take this crease and fold it in. And again, this is just reinforcing my crease.

This one I'll make sure it folds in. And now I'll open my piece. So from here, I want to turn it just whatever way makes that tent so it goes right up easily. I'm going to take my piece and fold it in half and then I'm going to open it and fold it in half the other way. So now I took the natural form of the tent and I made it tall, so you'll get four pieces. From here, I'm just going to take my pair of scissors and cut down the center line.

And I find it's really helpful if I reinforce the crease one more time. And then I just make my cut right from the centerfold just one block down So I go, just like that. And if I open it, that's the only piece that's missing is right in there. So then I take it just like this. And I kind of make a point in the center to my two ends are flat, and I'll pull it together just like this. This is a fold in itself.

And now I have a star for an X. So I can take this x and fold it down flat. And now I have a little book and I like to reinforce all the folds repeatedly. And I like the fold to be up top. So the fold of my paper is up top right here. except for that one area that I cut.

So I have my fold here, and I'm just gonna set this aside Take my scrap of paper for the cover and I'm going to fold it in half. Again corner to corner. Right now I have the good side is sandwiched in. And now I'm just going to take it and fold it so that my good side is out. Just like that. I want to make sure my piece fits.

I can just put it inside there. Just like that. I can use some double sided tape. I'm just going to use my quick dry glue here. And I'm just going to put it down on the top over here and the bottom and then up the side here on the fold. I like to hold it in place.

Push it to the edge so that my fold and my spine are together. And then I hold it down. So now one side is adhered. I'll come over here and do the same thing where I put a bead of glue or double stick tape to the top Write down the side of the fold and over one. And I do this so that I can fill my work with my paper clips. And I just fold it down.

I'm using glue. I'll let this dry for about 10 minutes. I'm using double stick tape, I can get right to work. So I'll let that sit and then we'll come back and fill our little booklet. I know I have my paintings here, and I have some paper clips. So what I'd like to do is take my first painting that I'm going to use and I just kind of placed it down and I created almost like a little pocket here.

So that's where my paper clip is going to go. So I slide my paper clip in. And then I slide my painting and then I'll do the same thing with the rest. Start on the back. Slide my paper clip in. And then over here, I want my paintings to be on either side of the page.

So I'm just going to put the paper clip up top. Try and avoid any areas that I have the buttons on my paper. And lastly over here and here are my last images. And I like to put my paper clips on the top or on the bottom. I don't like to put them on the sides, except for the side right up against the cover. And there I have my little book full of my happy houses.
