Create a Single Sheet Zine

Create a zine using only a single sheet of paper. Fold and cut your way to a booklet which you can then fill with photographs.

Resource by Emily Ryalls.

Start by folding your sheet of paper in half.

Use your ruler to slide along the fold, making sure it is neat.

Fold in half again.

Keep using your ruler as you go to apply pressure to the creases.

Fold in half again for the final time.

Unfold your booklet, opening it out flat.

Fold your paper in half lengthways.

Cut along the centre fold towards the midpoint of the paper.

Make sure that you cut from the side of the paper that has the fold.

Open your paper up again, laying it flat on the table.

Refold your zine into one booklet.

Once your zine takes shape, you’re ready to fill it with photographs!
