![]() The template is made to print 4 8.5 by 11-inch pages per sheet, so each page turns out to be a quarter of the size of a regular sheet of paper. This is the size my template is designed to work with, and it's important that you keep them this size for your zine to print properly. The most important thing to remember when creating your pages is to keep each individual page in the ratio of an 8.5 by 11-inch sheet of paper. Images and text that go all the way to the edge tend to get cut off. Try to leave a bit of a border around each page, just to prevent printing issues. If you choose to go this route and you don't have a real scanner, I've had good luck with the app CamScanner for iPhone, although it does require some patience to get the lighting right in order for the image to appear like a real scan. Additionally, I created my first zines on regular old printer paper with markers, paint, and colored pencils then scanned them in. You could also use Word, Publisher, or Google Docs. In my case, I usually will use a digital platform, like the apps Phonto and Procreate on my iPad. The first step is to decide how you would like to create your zine. Let's get started!

You should know, however, that printing will take some trial and error, and you may have to adjust margins or image sizes in order for your zine to print perfectly and line up correctly front and back. In this tutorial, I'll be sharing how you can use this simple template to create a zine, and how to print it. Link to Google Drive folder with zine templates I created a Google Doc for you to try and make it easier for any future zine makers- making zines is so much fun- if you make one or have made one in the past, please share it with me (Instagram: enchantedquill), I would love to see it! When I was trying to create my first zine ( Just Be Nice!), however, I had some difficulty trying to figure out the best way to arrange the pages in a document. My main purpose for this new blog is to share things I know about with you guys, and that's just what I'll be doing in today's post! I've always been someone who learns best when I teach myself things, whether that be through a library book, YouTube tutorial, or helpful blog post (like this one hopefully will be!). ![]() ![]() History of a niche subject that you're interested in Photos and stories from a recent trip you took A zine can be made about any topic under the sun, so they're a great outlet for creativity and expressing your most recent interest in a real, tangible object.
