Step 1:Begin with an 8 1/2" x 11" pieces of construction paper or card stock.
Card stock works best and easily obtained from any office supply store. You may also begin by using a manila filing folder. This maybe easier for very young pop-up makes (if using a manila filing folder skip to step 3). |
Step 2:Fold the construction paper in half to form a card.
|
Step 3:Draw two parallel lines of equal height towards the fold of the card. The lines do not have to be perfect as long as they are the same height.
|
Step 4:Cut along both lines starting at the folded edge.
|
Step 5:Fold the cut section back...
|
Step 6:...and crease well along the edge with your thumb or finger.
|
Step 7Put the cut strip back in its original position.
|
Step 8:Open the card up like a tent.
|
Step 9:Using your thumb, push the cut strip through to the other side of the card.
|
Step 10:Close the card...
|
Step 11:...and press firmly.
|
Step 12:Open your layer Pop-ups!
