Zine Obsessed!!

I've been making zines! I've never made any before, but I was inspired by Katie Gebely and her colorful, abstract zines over at Collage, Zines & Art Journals. 

Visit her channel for tutorials, inspiration and an explanation on "What is a Zine & How to Make One."

If you're interested in more info, check out Zines on Wikipedia here.

I made the majority of mine using 8.5 x 11 inch Neenah Bright White Premium cardstock paper as the base. Folded, creates an 8 page booklet & measures 3"W x 4.5"H.

I created them using text, images and a variety of art pens by POSCA, Artify and Artistro. I used bold jumbo acrylic markers, metallics, watercolor brush tip pens and dual tip alcohol markers. Even made a few minis!

It's a fun creative project! I absolutely loved making them and couldn't stop!! Try it!

Here's a short video with some flip thoughs below...

Mini Zip Pouches

I used a linen blend fabric by Anna Graham (Around The Bend Collection) for the exterior and a cotton fabric for the lining on these front zip coin pouches. The finished size is 4.5 inch square. 

Handy for your bills, coins, keys or even a mini notepad!

"Make a Stitch" has an easy to follow tutorial for this small zip pouch here. 

Simple to make, I'm sure to be sewing more!
