Easiest Mini Comic Book

This Instructable will show you how to make an incredibly easy miniature comic book in just a few minutes.This kind of book is also called a zine. I have made many of these and I write in them when I have free time.

Gathering Materials

You only need a few things to make this Instructable: a piece or two of A4 size paper, a pair of scissors, and a pen or pencil.

Folding

First, fold the piece of A4 paper in half longways so that it looks like a long rectangle. Crease and unfold. Next, fold the paper in half the other way. Crease and unfold. Fold the two short sides of the paper inward to the crease along the middle so the paper has two 'doors' on it. Can you guess what's next? Crease and unfold. Finally, fold the paper in half, not longways, but don't unfold.

Cutting

Now, cut along the middle crease at the folded edge of the paper until you get to the crease going across. Now unfold the paper and fold it in half longways. Pinch the ends and push inwards so that the middle flaps stick outward. Fold it so it looks like a book and crease one last time.

Drawing

Now comes my favorite part - the drawing! This is where the Instructable ends and you can turn your imagination loose. You should have a mini book with eight pages now, including the front and back covers. If you don't have eight pages, you might want to read the Instructable again. :) Thank you for reading!
