This double-sided mini zine has a silly little poem to encourage that anyone can make a zine on one side, and a template to show you how to lay out a zine on the other in case you want to make one of your own. The template also includes a QR code that directs you to a mini-zine folding tutorial video.

I made this simple so that it could be used to introduce and encourage others to make a mini-zine.

How Do I Fold It Though?

This video is a great example of how to fold an 8-page zine!

That's genius!  I thought all the pages would be cut individually and then bound together using either staples or glue, but this method shows how to keep the 8.5 x 11 sheet intact without the need for either.  That's a really clever method!

There are zines that get a bit more detailed and are sewn or stapled, but I love the mini zine for the reasons you mentioned. It is a great introductory format to get started with because it's just a standard piece of paper.  I think the most cleaver is someone can get a whole 16-pages from one sheet of paper. The pages are small, but it sure makes for a cute tiny little zine.
