For anyone confused, here's a breakdown of the process as I understand it (as someone relatively new to zinemaking) 1) (not pictured) Find a theme or concept for your zine. The amount of planning you do will vary from person to person - I like to plan out every little detail before I take my pen to paper, but others just need a general theme to work with before starting. 2) Begin creating the illustrations! These can be done digitally or by hand. 3) Begin creating the text you want! Some people do steps 2-3 at the same time, others do step 3 then step 2, I like to do step 3 in the planning process. It all depends! Some zines might not even have text. 4) Import your images into the zine template. If you draw traditionally like her, you'll need to scan your images first. If you don't have a scanner at home, most libraries have one, or you can use a scanning app! I recommend CamScanner, it's on IOS and Android and creates crisp images. The watermark can easily be cropped out as well, if you don't want to pay the subscription fee. 5) Organize your images and text. This is honestly one of my favorite parts, getting to see how everything falls together is so satisfying. 6) Print out your pages. Cut them to the proper sizes, if needed. 7) Bind the pages together! Depending on the type of zine, this may vary - Some zines are made by folding a single sheet of paper, and require little to no tap/glue. Others are sewn or stapled together, like this one! There's all sorts of methods. 8) Enjoy your new zine!
I'm really confused abt how you do the placement before printing heheh bc the pages are back to back right? Hehehe i hope you can do a detailed tutorial abt it.. thank you!
Thank you for sharing! I’d love to make a zine one day! As much as I want to, i dont have anyone to share it with or anyone to show it to so I feel like no one will ever get to see my work except for me
Thank you so much for sharing the process, I have never done a zine before but would like to try. Can I ask what printer did you use for your zine pls? Many thanks!
you’re so talented. glad i came across this video & your channel! as someone who is a novice to creating zines, can you share where you purchased your tools? (the thing to stab the holes and the other tool?)
Hi ! I haven't been checking comments for like a year lol -- I used an awl (pointy thing) and a bone folder. Both can be found at any craft/arts supply store. :)
Hi there! I know this was made many years ago, but I am still interested in your process. I am making a zine right now on indesign, and I am confused on how to print foldable zines. Everyone online besides you seems to be paying someone to print their zine for them, but I want to just print mine at home. Would you be able to show me the template you use for your zines and how you export to print?
@brattyxbre has a 'how to make a zine on an ipad' video. She shows how to lay it out in general so you don't need to specifically follow it, but she has some great tips for zines in general 😊 I know this comment is a few months ago but I hope you still get something from this lol.
I really love your work! I saw the video that said that you go to cooper union. I’m really interested in applying there next year, but I don’t have high hopes of getting in. So I’m wondering if there’s anywhere I can contact you (instagram, email or anything) about improving what I have of my portfolio so far and what I should work on and focus on for cooper union?

What kinda paper? She's using
Moreover what type of binding wire she's using
I know this video is 4 years old, but I used your tutorial to bind my first zine! Thank you.
I have to do this for an art project at my college, and I forgot how the instructor told us to do it. Thank you so much for the help.
Excellent guide here. Zine-making is a time-honored tradition and it really stands the test of time
Zines are so much fun to create. Your style is so good, love it

That’s always a concern, but even then, I think you should go for it!
Make them any way, and leave them in public places. And walk away.

They sell paper craft tool kits on amazon. I would love to know what program she used-some have commented adobe.

I design and print everything from indesign, which is a program set up to make/print booklets easiily!
