Shrimp Zine is a browser-based tool for making zines on your phone. You choose your paper size and number of pages. Add images. Add text. And then you can export the file as a PDF. Very intuitive interface.

I’ve been really overwhelmed lately but still wanted to make a zine so I made an easier one showing the stickers I’ve made recently! Last photo in comments.

Page 1: “I made stickers” in ransom letters and “@zanyzines” written in purple pen in the bottom right corner.
A sticker of a waving self portrait shown in two different sizes on a beige homemade paper background.

Page 2 and 3: the rest of the letter “e” shows from the word “made” on the previous page and stickers that say “do not bend please…” with hearts, stickers of peaches in a blue box, and stickers of a green frog saying “ribbit” are strewn across the page in various sizes. This is still on a beige homemade paper background.

Page 4 and 5: two different stickers are shown one is a “silly goose” sticker with a drawing of a goose looking silly surrounded in green and the other on the right is “angry goose” with a drawing of an upset goose running in front of water (the sticker is red around the edges). The smaller versions of each sticker are spread out with angry goose surrounding silly goose and vice versa. This is still on a beige homemade paper background.

Page 5 and 6: couple versions of these stickers are on this page “crafty hoe!” is a cool color scheme sticker (mostly purple) that has drawings of various crafts surounding the cursive words like sewing supplies, a glue stick, pottery, a zine, crochet, a paint brush, and a pencil; the other sticker that shows up twice in various sizes is “100% (cis) BOY TEARS)” the nutrition label says “1,000% sodium, boy tears sourced from white abeled hetero…”. The other stickers are only seen once. On the left is a tortoiseshell cat in a bow tie and the right is a King Charles cavalier puppy. This is still on a beige homemade paper background.

A hand is holding a zine with the title “How I Keep a Journal” written on the cover and decorated with colorful polka-dotted tape.

Handwritten pages on dotted paper discuss journaling habits and supplies used. The pages are decorated with multi-color polka dot washi tape.

Handwritten lists detail personal journaling supplies and habits, with sections about the current journaling setup, tools, and tips for effective journaling.

A hand holds the back cover of zine, which includes a thank you note and decorative washi tape.

I’m bad at social media, but good at snail mail. I make zines and write blog posts about creativity and neurodivergence. What kind of hashtags are good for art, zines & autism these days? #Zines #Autism #NeurodivergentArtist

Two zines and magazine clippings on a wooden desk with scissors, gluestick and pencils. Both zines titles are cut out magazine letters: Chaos Gardening with leaf rubbings and Spectrum with a hand painted watercolor color wheel.

I digitized my zine about neurodivergence so anyone can read it. 🌈 sarahshotts.com/2025/06/spec... #Autism #Neurodivergence #Zines

Spectrum: a zine about neurodivergence on a wooden table. The title is made of letters cut from a magazine. The center is a color wheel made of watercolor washes bleeding into each other.

i’m sorry. the passage of time must feel so strange. there’s this sense of before and after whenever you think about someone you’ve lost. grief feels so cyclical too, its hard. i feel you. sending hugs <3

a list-zine of all the witchy books I love that are on my bookshelf. These titles range from non-fiction books about witches, Tarot, and herbalism. Some of these books aren’t inherently witchy, but they’ve taught me to write/use my voice so i view them as such.
