DIY DIY and How-to

Instructional zines that show or tell how to make or do something, including knitting and other crafts. Some how-to zines can fit in other categories, though, such as zines about bicycle repair, which can go under BIC Bicycles, or zines about gardening, which can go under FOO Food, Farming, and Gardening.
