Date items must be sent by:September 30, 2008
Number of swap partners:2
Description:

we're swapping 26 mini zines, one for each letter of the alphabet! you will make a mini zine with words starting with each letter on every page of your mini zine (for example, a is for apple, a is for alligator) and any other fun alphabet info.

there are a few places around the internet with directions on how to make these mini zines, but i learned from this video, so i'm going to share: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xh1W15BWCUk&NR=1

you can be as plain, or as decorative as you'd like with these zines! you could even follow a theme with your alphabet. ratings should not be based off of content of zine. if you received 26 alphabet zines, that is an automatic 5. you'll have 1 1/2 months to complete the zines, and 2 partners to send to. you could even start making them now! these zines only take 1 piece of paper, so copy prices should be around $5 total for all zine copies (number based off kinko's b&w prices multiplied by 52, and leaving room for mistakes).

requirements

  • 4.8 rating or more

  • no newbies! (you have enough time to get some ratings under your belt)

  • most of the words must be in english

  • you MUST send 26 zines

any questions, leave a comment. :) happy swapping!

i so want to do this, seems like the zines themselves would be easy and fun. i haven't done any at all, though, so it would be kinda big for a first try. i'm gonna watch it, and see if i can get a few made before the signup date.

i definitely think you should try it out! zines are so much fun to do, at least in my opinion. :)

This sounds like great fun! Just to check.....we would be up for 26 zines (one zine for each letter)and we would be sending to 2 partners? = 52 zines total? (two copies of each letter of the alphabet) Have I got it right?

Sweet! I'm not going to commit yet, but I'll start working on the zines and see how far I get.
