Made a Zine

 Morning and I found this tutorial to make something out of an 11" x 8 and a quarter inches paper/card I had never heard of before a Zine so I made one lol.You just fold and make one little cut-thats it and you decorate using little oddments and I knew I had some Vintage adverts BUT whilst looking for them I found an almost empty paper pad from Studio light,had it for years and I had used all the papers but left a few pages of the colourful image to fussy cut but never found the right project-but this was it!I fussy cut all the image,sentiments and the little washi tape images and the two strips the birds were standing on was candles but thought that was going just too far!When closed it measures 4" x 2 and three quarter inches (10x7cms) Quite enjoyed making this little fun Zine.The B.paper was from K&C in the QVC Dawn Bibby days.

Beautiful cute zine, so cheerful! I make these mini books at school (I'm a teacher) with the primary school children, they fold and cut sheets of photocopies, write short stories or poems and draw illustrations. The fold is easy enough for them.

I've never heard of a Zine, maybe that's stands for a mini magazine? It's unique and fun, Thanks for joining us at The Paper Funday Challenge!

Love how beautiful and serene this one is! Enjoy the week!

pinky said...

This is just gorgeous Carol. Love the colours and all the elements. I made one of these years ago after my daughter's first university year but I don't think it was called a zine back then. You have inspired me to have another go.

EmmaT said...

Fabulous fun mini magazine, love all the different elements coming togetherx

Pia S said...

That fold actually doesn’t look hard at all but I would never have thought of it myself. A great idea for making a little card/booklet combined. Nicely decorated, cheerful!

Betta said...

Great mini album! I love all the beautiful detail.
Thanks for stopping by A Place To Start !

So cute Carol. I remember this from years ago and had forgotten about it. What a great result! CarolG

Sarn said...

I LOVE your colourful Zine Carol.
You are a crafter after my own heart - I've made two Zines and there's a third one which is a work in progress. I had never heard of them before I attended a mixed media workshop about a year ago! They are fun aren't they? xxx

Shabneez said...

Ahhh I remember making these over lockdown! They are a lot of fun and love how you've decorated yours Carol. Shabneez x

A beautiful little zine Carol! I have some of that K&C paper somewhere. I bought loads of stuff from QVC way back when! Lol

Carol said...

What a fun colorful album! This could be used for a child to learn colors! I used to make this type of album for my students to use as a study guide before tests! I called it the McFarland Fold. I laughed out loud when I saw your example one in white, as that is how I showed my students how to make it. Great job! So glad you joined us at Mini Album Mania!
