Make your own zine

You can make an 8-page zine out of a single piece of paper!

To begin, take a good piece of paper (we like to use A3 size).

Firstly, you’ll want to fold it in half three times so that you have the fold lines to make an 8 page zine.

After all the folding, open it back to an A3 page. You’ll want to cut a line down the middle to make the best fold, so it’ll look something like this:

Now that you’ve cut the line across the middle, you can fold your 8-page zine. Fold your zine in half again.

Next, open up the cut you’ve made and press the two sides together.

Now you can fill it with creative genius!
