This was gifted to me by a friend. I didn't know much about zines and hadn't made one before. Honestly, it felt like a real treat! The kit you get is sweetly put together with everything you need to make a zine. I was a bit daunted at first but the instructions were super clear and encouraging. I found myself getting really into it! A thoughtful and wholesome gift in these materialistic times. Try it!

This was brilliantly organised and was a lot of fun to make. I made one with my daughter who included lots of her lovely memories which reminded both of us of happy times during our family lockdown. The Zines were easy to make and fun to decorate. Thank you!
