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:

1. You likely have everything you need already to do this on hand
2. You may need to acquire some supplies or equipment (total <$200 for intro project, at least; hopefully more like <$35)
3. 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

1. Initial folds & cut steps, in images via Ashley Topacio (you can also Google for many video options)
2. 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).
