fold a mini zine

print your pdf on one sheet, one side. then it's five folds and one little cut. no glue, no staples, no excuses.

  1. print it

    send your pdf to the printer. one sheet, one side, actual size. no scaling.

  2. fold the long way

    fold the whole sheet in half top-to-bottom, crease it hard, then open it back up.

  3. fold in quarters

    now fold side-to-side in half, and in half again. open up. you should see eight little boxes.

  4. cut the middle

    fold long-ways again and snip along the center crease, from the fold to the middle only.

  5. push the ends in

    open it a little, hold the two far ends and push toward each other so the cut pops into a plus.

  6. wrap the spine

    fold the four flaps around into a booklet and press the spine flat. that’s your zine.
