How to Make Zines

Zines are DIY booklets (“zine” is short for magazine) – perfect for showcasing your artwork and sharing with friends. Zine enthusiast, Courtney Cerruti, shows you how to make four simple zine structures using copy paper and a photocopier, including 8 or 16-page books made from a single sheet, an accordion book, and a pamphlet stitch book. Courtney fills her zines with found photos and doodles, but you can feature anything that sparks your imagination. Drawing from her own collection of zines, Courtney shows examples of each structure to get you inspired.  Learn how to:

• Create 4 single-page book structures (one 8-page book constructed with 8 ½” x 11” paper, two 16-page books using 11” x 17” paper, and one accordion book)
• Create single signature zines using folded 8 ½” x 11” sheets and a 3-hole pamphlet stitch
• Add artwork/create content within your single-page zines
