My old sketchbook was falling apart, it wasn't filled up yet, I wanted to keep using it, it had the correct rings for rebinding, and there was a lot of cardboard. Enough said.... My art teacher even gave me a grade for it! (I got full credit) The result is an interesting looking sketchbook, fully rebinded with sturdy cardboard, and with minimal waste. It's cheaper than buying a new sketchbook, and it gives your creations a new life.

Painting it might soak and warp the cardboard, though. It'd have to be put on very thinly, right?

if you put on a thin enough coat to kind like just to give a stained color would look nice just don't over do it with paint.

Yeah, that's a good idea. Or actual wood stain, if that's the effect you want. I used it on a cardboard project once and it worked very nicely :)

Now that's just pretty. The wire was a brilliant idea, and the pencil holder/latch works very well aesthetically, too.
