Seawhite Concertina Sketchbook A4

Product Information

In this next step, you’ll need to measure your paper to cut three strips (in this case) at 18.5cm high. The strip takes the whole length of the paper. You will be left with a wee bit at the top that you won’t need. TIP: You know the old adage, measure twice, cut once? Not a bad rule to follow. It can take many weeks to fill both sides of the sketchbook with fragments of walks on the beach. I do like to try and keep them to one season though. There’s something magical about catching a summer of beach memories in a sketchbook. Repeat this process with the next two pieces of paper until you have a very long (2m +) piece of paper. MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS PUT THE TAPE ON THE SAME SIDE OF THE LONG PAPER AS YOU MAKE IT. (You don’t want one paper with tape showing and the other without.)
