How to Share a "Minizine" With Friends

I have a lot of friends who make Artist Trading Cards. Sometimes, trading can be difficult. I wrote this little booklet on one of those days when I was feeling down. I have found that Instructables is the PERFECT site for sharing this kind of thing!

Supplies

Printer. Paper. Scissors. The PDF found in step one.

Download and Print the PDF

The image above shows what is on the PDF. Print it!

Cut Along the Outer Lines

Because printers sometimes "scoot" the image a bit one way or another, it's best to just add some cutting lines so all the text lines up just right. There are FOUR lines to cut. Imagine that I copied and pasted the word "CUT" two more times....

Follow the Standard "Mini-zine" Instructions for Folding

I've made a LOT of these little one-page fold-and-cut booklets.

I used to take new photos each time I published one of those booklets.

But I'm too lazy to take all those pictures again....

There are a LOT of good instructions for folding and cutting these booklets.

Here is one of my older booklets, complete with instructions. The first time, it is a little tricky. When you've made a hundred or so, it gets easier!

And tell that friend about "Instructables." It's a seriously awesome site for sharing all kinds of things-that-can-be-created.
