Project#7 One paper zine

Creating your very own zine  from one sheet of paper...

What you will need:
*1 sheet of paper 8 _ x 11
*pencil, erasers and markers
*scissors

step one:
..take the paper and divide into 8 even folds
step two:
..use the number guideline in the photo to design each of your pages – your pages will be in that order and orientation
step three:
..think of a narrative or simply draw pictures on each page and colour the drawings with markers or pencil crayons
step four:
..fold your paper in half short ways and cut a straight line between pages 1/2 and 5/6
step five:
..fold the paper in half lengthwise, then push your two ends in. You will have something that looks like a cross (see photo)
step six:
..fold the pages so that number 1 and 8 is on the outside.

There you have it your very own zine – you can make colour copies to create a small edition to give or trade with your friends!

Forgive me my ignorance, but I had to Google 'zine' to actually find out what it is! I must be getting old!!
The project looks cute, I'm definately going to make a 'zine' with my daughter today! (Sorry, I skipped last week's challenge :-))
