 Hey guys! We are back for another kid-friendly rt craftsy video. So one of the things I do every day for those of you who are new to my channel or haven't followed me before or watched my videos before is I do little daily drawings every single day. Now I do them usually downstairs on the sofa but I brought up one of my little sketchbooks. This is one I made and I usually stick a sticker on the front that I have laying around. Anyway I usually have a list of prompted words and I glue it to the front cover and then every day I just do a quick simple little drawing every day. So for those of you who are allowed to be on Facebook, I do have a Facebook group called A Life of Art and Self-Expression and there is a list of words in there every month. This is March. You can get January and February's too by looking in the photo albums. But for you here on YouTube I have a list just for you kids. Yes it's formatted for those of you who know how to use a computer. It's formatted a little weirdly because I thought I had it done and then realized I only had 28 words and had to add three more because I wanted to do a month's worth of words so yeah that's a thing. Anyway I am going to put a link in the video description to a place where you can freely safely download this list of words. You can print it out on mom and dad's computer with their permission and or save it to your device that you're watching this video on again with their permissions. You have access to the list of words. The word for the first day is breakfast. So what did you have for breakfast right? So before we start on our list of words we are going to actually make something to draw them in. I'm going to put all that to the side. I have my little paper trimmer here. Now for those of you who aren't old enough to use scissors or a paper trimmer maybe you don't have a paper trimmer you need to use scissors so you can definitely do that. Maybe you're not old enough to use either one get a grown-up to help you. If you don't have either one around you can definitely tear your sheets to the size you want. I am going to use this piece of paper that I've doodled on as my cover and then I'm going to just use usually I use plain white white drawing paper kind of a thick white drawing paper but I want to show you all that you just don't have to have any fancy paper you can just use anything. This is obviously yellow it's a plain old pad of yellow lined paper from Staples that I probably had longer than most some of you have been alive. So we are going to tear some sheets off of this I think I'm going to do five six seven eight. So normally I use thicker paper so I can draw on both sides but you know what I think we're going to do the same thing. So we're going to take eight sheets of paper and we're going to measure how big our cover sheet is. Now if you don't have access to a ruler or paper trimmer just lay your piece of paper you want to be your cover on top trace around it and then cut all of these papers out. All right that might be good and then the lines going out do I care which way the lines are going because that's that if your paper has a pattern on it that might be a thing if I do it this way the sheets will be a little smaller than the cover but that might be okay. I think I'm going to do that actually so I'm not going to measure anything I'm going to just take one of my pencils here I'll put a little mark and then we're going to cut them out okay then we're going to take all of our inside pages and fold them in half like that we're going to take our cover and fold it in half like that now if you're old enough to use a needle and thread the best way to do this is to sew everything together so you just poke a couple holes in the cover and string thread through it like I did this one and tie it in a knot. I have a video on how to do this I can link it in the video description for you but it's very very easy but maybe you're not old enough for that or maybe you don't have a needle and thread I want to show you a different idea I went around and round and round with this in my head how we could do this I think I came up with an idea so let's give it a try shall we let me pull the chair over okay so the first thing we're going to do is work on our inside pages we've got everything folded in half we've got our Elmer's glue now this is some Elmer's glue I have it's in a bottle with a teeny tiny tip on it this would be the best thing most of you aren't going to have access to this so I want to show you how you can just do it with regular Elmer's glue this is just plain old Elmer's glue school glue we've what we've been using the trick to this is going to be not getting too much glue on there so we're going to start with one sheet and I'm not young anymore so I need my reading glasses hang on I'm going to take a little bit of our Elmer's and we're going to just take a little bit squeeze it just a little bit you don't want too much and just run the tip right right across the fold then take one of your sheets and put it on top of the glue match up those fold lines and then do it again now the glue will stay wet for a little bit so you can move it around a little bit you don't want to move it around too much because the more you move it around the more it's going to spread out the glue and the less paper paper you're going to have to draw on so that's going to be an issue and it doesn't have to be perfect okay and just keep doing that until you have all the inside pages glued together I'm going to do that I'll be right back okay once you have all your inside pages glued together then I wanted you to take your cover and again along the fold and take some Elmer's glue shouldn't take more than that put your pages there we go so then once that dries you have a little sketchbook I'm I should wait till it dries I'm not really going to um while it's kind of still wet I'm going to glue my list of words to the inside cover and then I'm going to let the whole thing dry and in the next video we will work on doing our first of our daily drawings yeah all right so make your sketchbooks um if you don't want to make one maybe you already have a little notebook you can use a composition notebook a pad of paper loose sheets you don't have to make a little drawing book but they're kind of fun to have and then you can just have that in your pencil and you can take it wherever you are I have a whole little kit of things it's downstairs all right that's it for now I'll be back in the next video and we'll be working on drawing breakfast what did you have for breakfast um I can't wait this is going to be fun all right so go out and get your notebooks together get your crayons and pencils together let's see what we can do to stay occupied stay positive uh help out mom and dad um while they're we're all home and you know they're kind of stressed out and we need to help them out by um keeping ourselves occupied and maybe sharing with them maybe you want to get them involved in the daily drawing I think that's a great idea I have people online of all ages that are doing it with me um and if you have any questions comments or concerns my information is in the video description check with mom and dad first please and uh yeah go out and have a great day do something nice for yourself because you deserve it and I'll see you in the next video bye guys
