Book Art: 3D Pop Up Book

Materials

 Cardstock: colored or white

 Scissors and/or Exacto knife
 Glue stick
 Ruler/straightedge
 Cutting mat (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1: Cut an 8 ½” x 11 sheet of cardstock into four equal pieces. Do

this by folding the paper in half once, opening, and folding in opposite
direction. Cut along fold lines.

STEP 2: Take one of your trimmed pieces and fold in half.

STEP 3: Mark a 1” x 1” square at the center of the folded edge.

STEP 4: Using an Exacto knife or scissors, cut along the two lines
perpendicular to the folded edge. DO NOT cut the line parallel to the
folded edge.

STEP 5: (Optional) Using an Exacto knife, lightly score the line parallel
to the edge. Flip over and repeat. This will make the fold crisper.

STEP 6: Open the paper up and press the cut square out to form the
pop up “leaf”.

STEP 7: Repeat with (4) more sheets. HINT: Use the first cut page as a
template to mark the cut lines for the remaining sheets.

STEP 8: Spread adhesive on one side of the first page using a glue
stick. Press a folded second page onto the glued side of the first page.

STEP 9: Repeat this for the remaining pages until you have 5 pages
total.

STEP 10: For the pop up image, cut out a shape and decorate it, then
add it to the pop up leaf using double sided tape or glue NOTE: Make
sure that the pop up image does not stick out of the book when folded
before gluing. Test out the width first.
