Description:
Love to make minizines? Love to color? Coloring books for adults are huge right now! So let's make a miniature version to send. In this swap you will create a coloring book minizine and send it to two partners. It can be filled with pictures that fit a particular theme or just patterns. The cover may be in color, if you prefer, but please make sure the actual coloring pages are in black and white. Absolutely anything goes as long as it is a minizine that can be colored. Check out the adult coloring books in stores for inspiration. Must have at least a 4.9 rating. Send me a message if you have any questions about this swap, including how to make a minizine.

How many pages should the zine consist? I'm a tempted newbie....and a colouring book freak with the love of fine lines.

JenniferB - The beauty and ease of a minizine is that it is made from just one piece of computer paper. You can make one "master copy" and then make multiple copies using a photocopier at the library. After the photocopy is folded and cut using the standard method, there are six pages (not including the cover and back of the minizine).

This is probably the best visual of how to fold and cut a minizine.

And this blog post was one that I referenced many times when I first made a minizine years ago:

This is a great step-by-step visual guide.
