How to Make a DIY Zine (the old fashioned way)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 вер 2024
- This is a video tutorial about how to make a very DIY zine in the most traditional sense. I was inspired to create this because I wanted to encourage those who don't have access to expensive software, or even basic software or printers, that they can still create. The zine I create here is very basic, but is done as a cut and paste example. I show other zines in this video to show stronger examples. This video was created during the COVID-19 quarantine, so the materials I have on hand are minimal. This, however, is the important part I wanted to convey: you don't need much to create a DIY zine. You just need something to say.

for some reason i’m obsessed with the punk/ riot grrrl scene during the 90s but i’m only 14 so i wasn’t even alive to experience any of it :( it was really cool to see this video and make zines though
Honestly same, I watched a little youtube video about the riot grrrl movement, and got really inspired to start making zines. Also wasn't alive when that scene was around, being 20 years old lmao.
Have you seen dirty girls? I bet you’ll like that, it’s on UA-cam.
there is still a scene! there’s most likely even a diy scene in your town!!! don’t give up, make your zine
Same!

You are my zine hero! I have been trying to find info on making a zine without using anything digital... I want to make them with my heart and hands. Thank you for making this video
what kinda zines ya making?
my friend and i have been talking about making a zine together, so of course youtube started recomending me videos about zines. when i started this video, you just seemed so familiar. then i realized who you are! spring 2017 i took your comp II class and i remember making zines for our final project :D thanks for introducing me to the concept of zines and for this wonderful resource!
@blazing_orchids Ha! So good to hear from you, but especially with you looking to keep the zine flames burning. Don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions!
This was super helpful for me. I’m not skilled in using graphic design software, and I kept seeing people using that to make their zines. You showing your process made a lightbulb go off in my head. I feel even more excited to jump into zine making. Thank you!
1st, great hat... lol and yes, i've been making zines b4 even knowing it was a zine...i have kept my collections since 1991? or 92, hand drawn then some evolved to cut and paste, collage, then came the digital era...but then reverted back to handmade...zines, whether they suck or not, are great, and we are awesome for creating them. Cheers, maybe on your next video show more of your work!
Been into photography as a hobby for 5-6 years now. I've been making my own prints for the past year and have decided to start making zines. Layouts and most content will be done digitally and printed. I am also into fountain pens so I will be doing any writing on my master copies by hand. I'm just waiting for a better stapler and some bookbinding tape to come in the mail then I'm going to get started.
Do you have any samples :) ?
Thank you so much for the detailed overview! I've got so much writing and nowhere to put it and I'm trying to use my quarantine to kick-start some projects. This video has been very helpful. Would love to see more about zines on your channel!
Thanks for the video! Thoroughly enjoyed it. I hope you make more zine content.
I know you posted this years ago but I wanna say thank you! This was inspiring and helpful 😊 I've been planning some Zines and now I'm diving into the creating part. Also I really like your personality and excitement about Zines
Thank you so much! I appreciate your comment. I hope you make a meaningful zine.
Love this video, thank you for sharing. 🙂
Thanks gad for men. This was so damn helpful. I didn't know if I'd ever learn the basics I didn't need another person's artsiness in my face when I just needed the basics . ❤
I just discovered your channel. I remember a punk 'zine from Fairfax, VA 'Lumpy Head 'zine. Trade publication size seems to be the norm for 'zines; but not always.
I want to live in a room that looks like this! Ahhhhh beautiful. Thank you for this post on zines and the original way it’s done…. Awesome 👏 awesome 👏
Thank you for this post I am going to have to visit the Black Mountain Library zine stash I am inspired
I don't have an income, but I'm lucky enough to have a computer, and since the physical supplies I have are what have been gifted to me, I've decided I'm going to make an ugly digital rough draft in Paint Dot Net, a free photoshot-like program, and then I'll make the master copy by hand so I don't waste anything drafting and changing up the format a ton with my limits supplies. This video made me want to work on it more, which is cool. All the other videos I've seen on zines make it seem so unattainable.
Hurray, thanks for this brilliant video. I really want to make a zine and have an idea. Now it seems like I might actually be able to do it. Many thanks for the Inspiration and your positivity.
Thanks so much for this vid! I felt a little out of my depth with most other zine videos and I was aiming for something more DIY as well. This vid was super helpful in getting me started.
Great old school way. Reminds me of the 80’s and the zine i did with friends.
Man. Your walls and ceiling look amazing.
This is awesome! Glad i found this! best zine tutorial I've seen!
Helpful man! Liked seeing how to make a more raw product. Subbing my man.
i reallyyy loved this video! i started making zines just recently, this makes me even more excited and inspired to make zines!
Super helpful! Thank you!!!
Thank you! I've wanted to make gifts for my friends! ^-^
Great video, thank you!
Very cool. Thank you so much!!
2yrs later and the algorythm gets it right 👍...just what I was looking for
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for
Very inspiring and timely for me. Thank you very much.
This is wonderful
Thank you for posting this!
These zines are as old-fashioned as a delectable tray of old-fashioned croissants straight out the oven
This was incredibly helpful - thank you!
I appreciate your video,
and your taste in hats
thank you :)
Thank you so much. I don’t have the privilege of photoshop but I got a copier at work and some scissors and glue.
Being doing zines since the 80's, the old ways. And that's fine by me.
These are awesome, how do you bind the pages together
It makes me kind of sad to hear zines referred to as "crappy". Crappy's kind of subjective, and there's enough discouragement in the world as it is without turning self-expression into something that's judged as good enough or crappy. (There are zines that aren't to my own personal aesthetic preference, but the value's really more in the making, IMHO.)
That said, this is a really good tutorial. I miss old-school glue stick and scissor nights. :D. (My first was in 1989, since i'm pretty much an ancient fossil at this point.)
Good points. My first ones were scrappy, but people liked them. I did back then, so you make a good point. Thanks for sharing
I love that you’re showing the old school methods. 😊 By the way, what was the name of that person you mentioned who did a call-to-arms about not putting out crappy zines? I can’t understand the name you’re saying there, and the transcript doesn’t seem to be correct (searched the name it presented and got nothing related )?
Aaron Cometbus was the author of "Call to Arms." It's hard to find online, but you can reach out to him and he'll send you a copy. You can find his USPS mailing address by searching for his zine "Cometbus." It's worth reading.
Thanks for the nice words!
this is so interesting, thank you. do you sell your zines anywhere? i would love to see what you are up to now, thanks :)
Yes. Go to 309punkproject.org/merch. I write the zine "Mylxine". You can buy it there, or at fine bookstores in Pensacola and NYC.
Wish i could do colour zines man. Not even ny school has a colour printer 😭😭😭
Dude wtf are on?
It was 4 years ago, but probably a chair.
