MAKING A ZINE ✦ sew your own zine without staples, easy bookbinding stitch tutorial

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

This was really fun! It might be my new preferred way to process feelings and journal creatively. I've been introduced to zines in my activism days, and have always admired the craft. I hope this video inspires you to make a[nother] zine!
At first I was stressed about drawing, so the key for me was using markers and sticking to a colour scheme to keep it simple.

    Crying with purpose is a compliment to your humanity. Your deep feelings are your strength ❤️ Love from a Highly Sensitive Person.

    Love how slow and calming this was. I’m not a naturally crafty person and I get nervous I’ll mess things up, but this was so easy to follow and made me feel very capable!

    Charming. If you plan to sell them though, making copies before stitching is a good reminder. Love your zine. Powerful. Thanks for sharing.

    I was here for the stiching and came out crying. I do art to heal my inner child & your zine was deeply touching. Thank you for sharing

    Zine's also have many decades of historical roots in US Black arts-cultural, political and civil rights groups, movements/era as well as the literary arts - especially poetry.

    Thanks for this wonderful video! Such a sweet zine, your tears have manifested as joy for me (in terms of learning binding techniques! 😅). Quick question, what is the maximum number of pages you’ve bound using this method? Keep up the good work! 😸🙏🙏 📖

  • @bittermelonbindery

    @bittermelonbindery

    🫶🏼☺️ for the pages, it depends on the weight of the paper! I find 10 sheets of 60 to 80 lb text weight (90-120 gsm) to be a good number, you can experiment with more or less.

    Helpful crying tip- the initial rush of hormones that starts a need to cry only lasts 90 seconds unless we try to stop it. So take that 90 seconds and feel and cry as hard as you need to. Be cognizant and mindful of whatever you experienced. When that 90 seconds is up you can do square breathing and 54321 sense grounding to recover. Then you will be in the right headspace to address whatever you need to do!
