It will have a back and a front cover plus 6 inside pages, each measuring 4 1/4" x 2 3/4".

Mini zine has to be handmade and 100% made of recycled materials (you can use for covers: greeting cards, thin cardboard from cereal boxes, etc. / for pages: old book pages, magazine pages, junk mail, leaflets, etc. / for writing: hand written, hand drawn or clips from magazines or books) It's strictly forbidden to use computer to print out images / text!!!

I was wondering if since it's a mini zine, does it have to have a thick cover like the recycled card or box, or can it just be the folded paper? I usually don't add a thicker cover to my mini zines, so I want to make sure I understand correctly. :)

Hi @bobilani Use what ever you have on hand. So long as its not brand new and gently used- it's fair game. I'm using this cool advert I saw in my magazine and some cut outs from my old catalogues. Possibly some ribbons from old, opened presents..... Sky's the limit!

I'd love to angel for this one! I spent the other night making a ton of mini zines out of magazine pages! :) I am a mini zine addict.

Thank you @sunnybea Maybe we can do a private swap as we're not partners and I definitely wanna have one of your issues!
