Description:

Everyone will have the entire month of February to make a mini zine. This is a zine that uses only one sheet of paper, with your design on one side. This means that it can be folded to make your mini booklet without any staples, etc. You can have the zine about absolutely anything you like. This is super easy. Of course everyone should make an effort to make the zine as good a quality as possible, but essentially all you need to do is cover no more than one sheet of paper and then photo copy it.

You can do this if it's your first time making a zine or if you are super experienced. My idea is that I will do this swap every month. That way, if you wanted to give your zine a title and start from issue one, you can. Or you can plan to do one off's and join in which months you feel like. Having a small craft project once a month though, I think give you enough to keep you doing, but this isn't too time consuming.

So, you have the entire month of February to make and copy your zine. Then all you have to do is send it out!

The swap is international. You will send the same zine to 4 different people. Please rate a 5 if you get a mini zine, unless of course it is very obvious that the sender has made absolutely no effort. This is not newbie friendly, and I will remove swappers with too many 1s or 3s.

Let me know if you have any questions or other ideas!

Are we send the zine to 4 or 5 people? The number of swap partners does not match the description. Thanks for the clarification!

what exactly is a mini zine?

I have been told it is a mini type of magazine.

But the description in the swap reads like it is a paper folded in a manner that can make it like a blank notebook.
