What's a Zine?
A zine is a mini-magazine!
It's a small book or flyer that you make yourself, and it can be about absolutely anything you want!
A zine has a cover, a back cover, and then 6 other pages inside to fill in anything you want!
How to start...
The first thing you need to figure out is your topic! Think about what you want to put in your zine, and make a little plan. You can fill it with little stories and poems, comic, and anything else you want to include.
Then...
You make a zine!
Zines are really fun to make. The best way to make them is to do it by hand. Fill it with drawings, collage, writing, cut-outs, anything!
All you need is an A4 piece of paper, you fold it into 8, and make a cut in the middle. It folds out, and then down to make a zine. A bit confused? Down below are some videos to help show you want to do.
