About my “homemade” zines
Tutorial zines: “learning access level” scale
“Learning access level” rates my how-to zines on a 1-3 scale of how accessible it is for you to pick up and do the same thing I describe:
- You likely have everything you need already to do this on hand
- You may need to acquire some supplies or equipment (total <$200 for intro project, at least; hopefully more like <$35)
- You may need to acquire costly supplies/equipment ($200+) and/or happen to have access to equipment you will likely not be able to purchase yourself (e.g. lasercutter)
Assembling 8-page mini-zines
- Initial folds & cut steps, in images via Ashley Topacio (you can also Google for many video options)
- Getting everything lined up neatly (paraphrasing Reddit user Jay-ish’s helpful tips):
- After folding into 1/8ths and making the cut, loosely fold into correct final shape, but don’t press yet
- One long edge of the cover will be open (i.e. you can lift it to see it’s back side); gather all pages and this open-long-edge half of the cover, arrange carefully, and hold against table
- Fold the close-long-edge half of the cover onto the other pages, and press all (always start from middle and move away from middle to outer edges).
