Check out this super ace craft zine I found on Etsy and got in my mailbox yesterday!
This zine started as a project for a Women’s Studies class and has turned into a great tool for those new to crafting and selling. It contains sections on ideas for crafts, books to check out, internet resources for selling and advertising, how to sell at stores, and if you live in Portland, OR, a guide to crafty supply stores around town.
Table of Contents:
1)Why DIY?
2)What should I make?
3)Where can I get supplies (PDX)
4)How to sell online
5)How to sell in stores
6)Craft fairs in PDX
7)Advertising
8)Web resources
9)Resources in print***From now until March 15, 100% of the proceeds of this zine will be donated toward the printing of the Winter 2008 Portland State University Girl Power Zine. We are conducting 40 hours of rap sessions with teen girls ages 11-19 throughout the community and will be compiling their words into a zine about teen girl life.***
It comes from legendary Etsy seller harveyandeileen who make the wonderful uterus undies.
And it’s for a good cause so you should buy a copy today!
I’m keen to get some more craft zines so if you know of any out there let me know. And don’t forget I’m collecting articles for the next Hoop-La so if you’ve got something written or pictures of your radical craft send it through!
