How to Make a DIY Zine for Junk Journals | Step-by-Step Paper Craft Tutorial

[@helengibson8196]

I have made these before but I didn’t know they were called zines 😊 I have glued ribbon between the cover and front and back pages for a closure as well. Your zines are beautiful and very precise. Thanks for sharing your process with us 🌷

[@ravenvintageca]

I love that ribbon closure idea! Thanks for watching!

Interesting! I had never heard of a zine before.

[@ravenvintageca]

I mentioned that we (the junk journal community) have borrowed the idea/term from the self-publishing world. Junk journal makers create these to add to their junk journals and not as a publication. We (the jj community) tend to borrow lots of idea from other creators!

[@kellyhards8828]

I do the same trick that you do when watching craft shows. When I've seen the same project before, I STILL want to see that person's take. A LOT of time I learn a new trick, of a different way to decorate, of like with you, a beautiful new craft kit and a beautiful new way to use it! 😍 Thank you for sharing! 💕

[@ravenvintageca]

I love that you find new inspiration and techniques even when you've seen similar projects before. Thanks for watching, Kelly!

[@gail9289]

That's interesting. I understood a zine was a homemade magazine or newsletter. I like your take on the concept. Should help the creative be more creative. Tks for the demo.

[@ravenvintageca]

You are correct! That's why I mentioned that we (the junk journal community) have borrowed the idea/term from the self-publishing world. Junk journal makers create these to add to their junk journals and not as a publication. We (the jj community) tend to borrow lots of idea from other creators!

Cute little book! "Zines" are new to me. This looks like a quick, "jump-start my creativity" project. ❤

[@ravenvintageca]

They really are fun and a great way to get creative!

[@Giga1fluff]

I’m a newbie, I’ll be making these for sure. Thank you 😊

[@kellyhards8828]

I loved that kit SO much that I HAD to order even before I finished watching your video! 💞💞 But don't with, I DID finish watching your video! 😍💖💕

[@ravenvintageca]

I'm so glad you loved the kit! I truly appreciate you supporting my Etsy shop! Thanks for watching!

I’m new and I will definitely try this. Thanks.

[@donnahoward3694]

I really enjoyed this video and subscribed. Love the little booklets!

[@iluvtojournal]

I collect quotes. I could make zines for specific subjects. Will be nice after the Christmas rush. I live just north of Toronto and it is very gloomy. Hear cold temps coming. I just love having a choice with pockets. It has been ages since I created a zine. Thanks for sharing your talent 🎄

[@ravenvintageca]

That is such a great idea for your quotes collection! Yes, this weekend is going to be very cold! Brrr! At least the daylight will last longer soon. I'm happy to share and be a part of this junk journal community. Thanks for watching. 🎄

[@christicoffey6463]

Me too!! They're great, inspiring, and kick-start ideas for me.

[@milissaklicka7019]

I love these cute little books! Thanks!!

[@ravenvintageca]

They're so fun to make, aren't they? Thanks for watching!

[@pounsplace1302]

I have actually been looking for this tutorial for the last few days but didnt know it was called a Zine....Thank you so much for this.

[@ravenvintageca]

You are so welcome! Yes, it's a take on a zine, not a true zine in the publishing sense, but that's what they are called in the junk journal community!

[@Barbarachocolate1956]

WOW! Love these! Cute, little, and sweet!

[@stellacarmella]

Love these! Nice little gift. Your instructions are precise and I appreciate that. I’m also in Ontario

[@ravenvintageca]

Great tutorial! TFS ❤

[@ravenvintageca]

Thanks for watching! Happy to share!

[@labgirlreed]

Love the image on the one you made on video! Zines are so easy and versatile…I just forget about them until I see one. Thanks for showing how you made this one. I also like the idea of leaving them blank on the inside and giving them as gifts…my granddaughters enjoy these using stickers and markers. ❤

[@ravenvintageca]

I love the idea of leaving them blank for the granddaughters, they would make great gifts! I'm just working on the final touches of that printable kit. It's called Stained Glass Secrets. Thanks so much for watching and leaving a comment! Most appreciated!

[@kkossor]

I Love how the Zine turned out! Great folding technique! Thank you. Also, wishing you and yours a Blessed Christmas and a Healthy, Happy and Prosperous 2025.

[@CRAFTICORI]

Hi from Grafton again! I love these!! Have a wonderful Christmas!

[@ravenvintageca]

Such a fun project! Thanks for watching! Merry Christmas to you, too!

[@susancarvey9063]

Could you cut the folded pages to become single pages?❤

[@ravenvintageca]

I've never tried - I guess you could but I'm not sure if the integrity of the booklet would stand??!

[@karinmerritt635]

👍❤️🙂

[@ravenvintageca]

[@kamisimpson8555]

Brand/glue: What is that plastic glue tube called with the small nozzle?

[@ravenvintageca]

I used Art Glitter Glue and buy it in a large bottle. I then add it to these refillable precision bottles. I find it to be the most economical way to purchase glue a good glue. I have links to both the glue and the refillable bottles in my Amazon store fronts for both ** USA amzn.to/4gMA1Hb ** and ** Canada amzn.to/4gR0pjj **
