Zines

"Zines tend to be a bricolage of various images, texts, and messages. Here is a list of just a few of the things you can do with the zine format:

• Publish sketches, drawings, and mini-comics
• Match recipes with whimsical illustrations
• Mix words with images and textures
• Print lines of poetry
• Share a manifesto
• …the list goes on

Basically, what you can include in a zine is only limited by your imagination."

Rona Akbari, The Creative Indepdent

To begin making your zine, all you need are 3 basic supplies:

• Paper
• A sharpie or pen
• A stapler*

(*A stapler is completely optional. You can make a zine with only a single sheet of paper and a writing utensil.)

There is a lot you can do to be creative with just these three things, but you may also want:

• Glue stick
• Tape
• Scissors
• Magazines 
• Books (that you don't mind cutting up for collages) 
• Photographs
• Printed/typed copies of your own words
• Other crafting supplies (ribbon, glitter, paint, stickers, fabric, etc.)
• Anything else that inspires you!
