mixtape is a craft maga(ZINE) about making time for the small things!
mixtape is a collision of craft, eco-cool and pop culture kitsch.

mixtape began sometime in early 2007. Our very first issue was photocopied and we did 300 copies. They sold out quickly and the demand grew so we purchased a laser jet printer to be able to print from home.

We ship ALL around the world and our articles are written by people all over the world!

Issue 8 was our first full colour professionally printed issue. Once issues sell out that is it. We only do one print run of each issue (as of Issue8) and Issues 1-7 are available as PDF’s for $5 each.

Mixtape is all done from our home in Melbourne, Australia. My husband Simon designs the zine, we have people write articles for us, a proofer and I do the rest!
mixtape accepts submissions from anybody! You just have to be passionate about the topics you are writing about.

Please email us if you’d like to see submission guidelines.

Advertising pays us pocket money! So if you have a small indie business email us to find out about rates for web/print.
