Materials Required for Activity

TOOLS & MATERIALS

  • Glue
  • A4 printing paper
  • Scissors (large, and small for finer details)
  • Bone folder (to score, flatten creases, smooth surfaces)
  • Awl (to make marks and holes; notice they range the sizes and sharpness)
  • Coloured pencils (H or softer) and erasers (friendly to paper surfaces)
  • Magazines, old books with pictures, newspapers etc.
  • Copy machine
Step-by-step instructions

Step 1: Fold the A4 printing paper in half. Fold it again into quarters, and then one more time so that it is folded into eighths.

 

Step 2: Open your paper so that it is folded in half. Cut halfway across the middle from the fold. When you open your paper it should have a slit in the middle.

 

Step 3: Fold your paper lengthwise (along the crease that has the slit). Hold the paper at either end, then push the ends in toward each other. The sections should fold into each other to form an eight-page booklet.

 

Step 4: Now it’s time for you to fill in your blank booklet and turn it into a zine! How you fill it in is completely up to you. You can plan or sketch out your content before making it final, or just wing it. Use the basic supplies only or add extra elements. If you want to just write and not use images, that’s cool too.

 

Step 5: And that’s it! You can keep it for yourself, give the original away as a one-of-a-kind gift, or make copies to share with your friends. Either way, you’ve made your first zine!
