Making your first zine

There are a few materials that you will absolutely need to make a zine. They include:

Your chosen art supply (collage, pen, marker, pencil, crayon, paint, digital, etc.)

A printer

Printer paper

Scissors

Here are some other supplies you might want to use, though they aren't necessary. 

zine techniques and binding

The most popular (and easiest to make) type of zines are 8 page mini zines. These can be made using a single sheet of paper. Heres a guide on how to make a them:

For a larger zine, thread binding works best. You can also use staples to serve this purpose, but make sure your paper isnt too thick.

Heres a more creative way to fold a zine, accordian style!

Where to find zines

 For finding zines and zine inspiration, I recommend using the Sherwood Forest Zine Library's website. They have a huge collection of zines digitally uploaded that you can look through. If you want physical zines, try searching etsy or looking at #zine on instagram to find small creators selling their work. If you live in a bigger city or are visiting one, a local small bookstore or library might carry zines. Some cities even have stores specific to zines. The zine community is largely offline, so starting a zine club or meeting up at zine festivals might be a good idea. If you make zines, many creators like to trade them. Trading zines can be a good way to share art without spending money.
