"YES PLEASE!I would absolutely love to trade, but currently only have a super short mini zine completed so I don't feel like that would be fair- When I finish this half-sheet zine I'm working on can we trade????"

"The only finished zine I have probably wouldn't be a fair trade (a one page challenge zine, with a real x-ray as a cover) so I understand if you would rather not trade, but I'd buy one from ya!"

embellishing your zine

The first zine I got was bound with red-and-white skinny twine. I'veseen other zines embellished with parchment paper or bound in ribbon. Iquite like those unusual touches, although obviously I've seenbeautiful zines that were "just" stapled!Personally, as someone who can barely draw stick figures, I like the idea of using other materials to add a bit of colour and variety. What are the best/most unusual/most memorable embellishments you've seen in a zine?See More
