What's a Zine?

Hmm......You might not have heard that word before...But this Q&A will tell you what a Zine is: 

Q: First of all, where did I get this "Zine"?
A: I got this "Zine" from this book called Tear Up This Book by Keri Smith and American Girl. It's like an activity book and there some activities you can do, such as making a fortune teller, or making a wish banner, or making a Zine!!! So yeah......

Q: What is in a Zine?
A: I used the ideas in the book. It includes "Facts About Me", "Favorite Snack of the Month", "Dear Diary", and other stuff. I even included some other fun things to do also in this book like the comment area (kind of inspired by YouTube) and the signature area, just to see how many signatures I could get after passing my Zine around.

Q: Can you make a Zine at home?
A: Of course you can! All you need is a pen or pencil, paper, and optionally, scissors, color pencils/marker/crayons, or picture. It's just a magazine about you. It's your life on paper. (from the book)

Q: How do you make a Zine?
A: Well, it's just like making a paper book.

1. Gather your materials on a table top.
2. Fold your paper into hamburger style (like a book)
3. Add pages to it; more paper. You might want to use thick paper for the cover and printer paper for the pages.
4. Add your pictures, crafts, anything into it. It could be your story, your own things, your BFF's; ANYTHING!!!!!!!!
5. Share it with your friends and family!

Well, I hope you enjoy this article! Post your picture of your Zine in the comment section!!! Thx for reading!!!
