Make a mini comic out of one piece of paper

One piece of paper, a few folds and one little cut, and you have your own tiny comic book with eight pages. The top row is upside down on purpose. When you fold it, it comes out the right way up.

Make a mini comic out of paper: a free printable one-sheet template that folds and cuts into an 8-page book, with the folding steps drawn. Letter or A4. Free, nothing to sign up for, and nothing you draw ever leaves the paper.

Letter is the US and Canada size; A4 is the size nearly everywhere else. It prints on two pages, sideways.

How to use it

  1. Print both pages sideways, at 100% size. The first is the comic, the second shows the folds.
  2. Draw your comic first, while the paper is flat. Page 1 is the front cover, page 8 is the back.
  3. Draw the top row upside down, the way the numbers are. Turn the paper round to do it.
  4. Fold it the way the second page shows. A grown-up can help with the one cut.

Peabody's tips

  • Turn the paper upside down to draw the top row. It's much easier than drawing upside down.
  • Put the title and your name on the front cover, page 1.
  • Make a few. A mini comic is a great present to hand a friend.

Printing it right

Pick the button for your paper. In the print box, keep the size at 100% (sometimes called β€œActual size”), not β€œFit to page”, so the panels come out the size they were drawn. The page is black lines on white, so a black-and-white printer is all you need, and it uses very little ink. Every line sits at least 0.4 inches from the edge, inside the part of the page that home printers can reach.
