What’s really cool about zines is their accessibility. Anyone can make a zine! This means I can make a zine, you can make a zine, your neighbour can make a zine, and your grandma can make a zine. These mini booklets or zines can be used to make anything weekly planner, coloring book, art project, kids game at a party. So put on your artistic caps and get ready to make some zines.
Any rectangular paper, US Letter 11X8.5 Inches has been used in this tutorial
Scissors
Fold your sheet of paper in half hamburger style
Unfold the paper. The sheet is now split into halves. Fold one side of your paper into the middle to meet the crease.
Repeat step 2 for the other side of the paper
If you unfold your paper you should have four equal sized vertical columns.
Fold your paper in half again but this time vertically.
Unfold your paper you should now have 8 equally sized rectangles.
Fold your paper back in half as shown in image. Now cut halfway in at your crease, this cut will create a opening in the middle of your paper
Now you should have a sheet with 8 sections and a slit in the middle. Open up your paper, fold in half like above. Then simply push the ends of the paper in and fold like a small book or pamphlet. Make sure that the printed side is on the outside
This is what your small one page zine should look like when you are done.
