Sketchbook

Project Statement

My goal was to create a sketchbook that looked old but had personalized touches like the glitter butterfly on the cover and the little charm bookmark. I created my front cover design and used iron-on glitter vinyl to make the design. In the bottom corner of the front, I used the laser cutter to etch my last name and first initial, and I also used the laser cutter for the wording on the back cover. I also bought a magnetic button and attached one side to a leather strap and the other side to the front cover to close the book for privacy.

Reflection

What I learned during this project was how to create a sketchbook from scratch, when first learning about this project I didn’t know what I was going to do, but research and watching videos and tutorials have helped me produce my final project. I learned how to use the laser cutter and Cricut and now I can use those two machines for projects outside of the classroom, and for my other classes.
