working on a zine while watching this ^^

[@tudibelle]

At the moment I have all my zines in a basket, both ones I have bought / traded for, and one copy of each of my zines. I store my trades in an A5 expanding file, and trade mini-zines in an old cardboard box which is the perfect size.

[@SierraDeCarmen]

My zine collection is still tiny, so it lives inside a biggish regular cardboard shoebox. I actually like the solution, so I'm coming up with a pattern to make a similar box, only slightly bigger, to put the bigger zines in. But, let's face it, that red mini shopping cart looks tempting to keep the "to be read" pile in!

[@happynaturalist1793]

Haha, your “oooo” face at 5:00 :) Love that these suggestions came with a bonus tour of your space and of several zines! Someone could spend hours at your place and not read them all. I want to combine these ideas with inspiration from your Zinetober vid - the more you see your own work and what you’ve accomplished, the more confident you’ll be ❣️

[@brattyxbre]

☺️💞

[@aprairiesunrise134]

I love that you keep a cat zine on the floor! I’m chaotically organized too and as soon as I try to organize differently those things disappear. 😂 I’m really enjoying your content, you’ve inspired me and my daughter to start making zines as homeschool projects (instead of trying to make her write a report).

[@brattyxbre]

How awesome! Happy zine making 🥰

[@M4ID4]

Stopp that mini shopping trolley is so cute!! I love this video!! I just store my zines in a notebook , like i stick the last page in and its like a mini book in a book its so cute!! 😮😊

[@brattyxbre]

Loveeeee 😍

[@anonybelle]

this makes me want to go track down all my zines in their various piles and try to get them organized and protected in nice plastic bins! wish there was a daiso near me. love the zine shrine, that is so cool.

[@CrystalJupiter]

Your videos have been helping me to prepare for my first zine fest, thanks for all of the resources!

[@brattyxbre]

Glad to help! Have fun at your zine fest 🥰

[@RogerBeatJesus]

Wow! I watched your video there, and I really enjoyed it. It gave me some ideas on how to organize things here, lol. Who knows I make a video about my organization with the fanzines, for you to look and see how it was. Always good to receive your news notice. Be happy, be full and beautiful. Viva Zine!

[@a-little-sunshine]

The mini shopping cart was so cute! Loved the zines clipped on the yarn. Thank you for sharing these 💖

[@brattyxbre]

And thank you for watching! ♡

[@ellelle]

Thanks!

[@brattyxbre]

No problem! Thanks for your support 🥰

[@carolinegivens3614]

The shopping cart idea is cool I have all mine stuck in a cd organizer I found

[@brattyxbre]

Smart idea! 🤯

[@patsyjohnson2064]

Wow!!! This was fun to watch....thanks for this.

[@brattyxbre]

Thanks for watching :-)

[@cilginogrenci]

Love the Shrek hat

[@brattyxbre]

Ty! 😊

[@waldangerous912]

A cat zine that waits for you outside of the bathroom sounds like the perfect place for a cat zine from what I hear about having cats. 🚽🧻🚪🐈

[@brattyxbre]

😭👌🏽

[@ferragottiart]

I've been thinking about getting those long magazine shelves that are really thin to display zines, but they're so expensive 😩I do like your clothespin on a string idea tho! Very cute and much more economical frfr

[@stephw3460]

i don't know if you have the tools for it (they use a heat gun) or an acrylic place near you, but the sorry girls have a video on how to work with acrylic, so maybe that could help? kzbin.info/www/bejne/d5mUeYmuaK16qLMsi=CG5c5A8262R-fyQn and another one on 3 ways to make a floating shelf kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIaalJmsqa6rfLcsi=KmiIDwhAM9epWlI_

[@mointheforest]

My collection is still relatively small so I’ve been storing mine in clear plastic folder sleeves that my sister bought at a Japanese stationary store. They are super cute, if you can find them.

[@brattyxbre]

That's a great idea!

[@mirandaleighton4216]

pls can we have a zine tour?! 🥰

[@brattyxbre]

Of course! 😇 I’m making one for all the zines I made in 2023. Then I will do zines made by other people that I read this year! That way I can share my favorite zine makers with you :)

[@CristobalMartinezProductions]

I literally store my zines in chaos. By the way, I made my first zine on Electric Zine Maker. Oh, and I'm willing to share PDF versions of my zines if anyone is interested.

[@brattyxbre]

Yay! I’d love to see 😍

[@Fedsghost]

i cant believe youd say the target cart is non-essential!!! it looks like a necessity to me tbh ! /silly /pos

[@brattyxbre]

You’re right what was i thinking!! Target cart is now MANDATORY 😂❤️

[@echozines]

I loved that your zines are all over your apartment. 🙂 Cool set-up on your wall too! (I just would be careful with paperclips as they might rust after a while). I'm curious about your set-up as a stallholder at zine events now!

[@brattyxbre]

Good call! I might use tape in the future - and I have a few videos about my set up for craft fair/ zine fests 😇😇 hope you enjoy!

[@echozines]

@@brattyxbre ok gonna check those next 🙂

[@J.Starsatz]

do you ever go back and remake zines? I've made some that I feel could be better, but it feels disingenuous to do the same concept multiple times without sharing it

[@brattyxbre]

All the time. Almost every zine I share online has multiple failed attempts no one ever sees. Sometimes I share my process, sometimes I don’t but I don’t think of it as disingenuous at all. I think of it as perfecting your craft 👌🏽

[@toxic.revolution]

Moved by my sense of nostalgia for the collectable magazine pages from Hachette Collection’s “Apprendre et Connaître l’Astrologie”, I’m changing my zine format entirely so they can be printed onto ring binder refills. ngl I’m sad that Target doesn’t exist anymore in Canada 😅

[@brattyxbre]

No Target in Canada is a tragedy! 🥲💔 /gen

[@Scarshadow666]

I'm the same way when it comes to being chaotic with a lot of my art supplies, it does drive my family nuts sometimes lol. ^^; ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@naplover405]

Could you do a similar video, but with your zine supplies? 🧡

[@brattyxbre]

I have this video with my zine essentials that I use everyday 😇👇🏽 7 Things Every Zine Maker MUST Have kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6iWZ3msq996ba8

[@lunarfish_003]

Already making zines for pride next year and organising them is going to be important, because I lose things. A lot.

[@livingjazzy6465]

The target cart is amazing. I wonder if you could make the food that came with it into zines... I have a dumbstruck toy in my bathroom...but it holds toilet paper :P

[@nosebleed3499]

I have a question is it ok that I don’t share a lot zines with people? I mainly make perzines and I get a little too personal in them so when people ask to see them I don’t really like to share them

[@brattyxbre]

That’s totally fine! Some zine can be just for you to express yourself, vent, etc. kinda like journaling

[@4wful_gh0st_11]

Hi!! I just wanted to say, I love your content, it's so chill and really inspiring hehe. I just have a question: is it still a zine if you keep it to yourself? I know the point of a zine is to be shared, but I personally don't really have anyone to share zines to. And I don't know anyone who even knows what a zine is! That's kinda sad lol. I would love to make more zines (I only have one for now) but I don't know if they really are zines since I'm keeping them to myself. Is it just a small mini-book then?

[@brattyxbre]

Yes of course it’s still a zine even if you only make them for yourself! A big part of zines is just being able to express yourself in a way that best suits you :)

[@4wful_gh0st_11]

@@brattyxbre tysm for you answer! I was just a bit unsure lol. I think you deserve a bigger audience, your content is really cool, and more people need to know about zines!!

[@brattyxbre]

You’re so sweet omg thank you so much for your support! I hope my channel reaches more people in the future ^_^ Everyone deserves to know the power of zines!! Thanks again ☺️🤟🏽

[@kaitlyngervais8912]

I am hella late to the party but that bat-shaped one with Nicolas cage, is that just cut and stapled? I'm working on a pasta based zine and I would love to have a mini one with it shaped like a tortellini aha

[@brattyxbre]

Hahaha totellini zine that’s brilliant 😂 Yes it’s just cut and stapled. I have an example of how I do that in another video called “finally answering your zine questions” I can’t remember the time stamp but I show how I make zines in different shapes 😁

[@mirandaleighton4216]

this feels like such a stupid question but how do you photocopy them

[@brattyxbre]

I use the scanner attached to my printer! If you don’t have a scanner there are free ones to use at your local public library 📚

[@Mintyink]

Definitely gave me some inspiration on how to store my zines! I've currently got them piled up in my wardrobe so this video was much needed! 🩷

[@brattyxbre]

I'm so glad! 🤩

[@theamateurwithaccess]

No offense, but when you started describing the chaos section all I could think about was this scene from Daddy Day Care only with Zines. If anyone asks why you keep your zines where you do just "I missed" and be like IYKYK 😂 kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJDPapSin5KIoqssi=Y4wIe0khDyDJN-3Z&t=110

[@brattyxbre]

LOL 😂
