Customer Reviews

Lots of Pop-Up Fun!

I purchased this book hoping to find out a few tricks beyond the simple "strip" style pop up. I was very pleasantly surprised to find instructions for turning circles, 3-D cages, and sliders, among others! Given the number of projects included in the book, I feel it's an exceptional value! Instructions and diagrams were clear and easy for me to follow and I look forward to sharing some of these projects at my local elementary school, where I volunteer as art director for a 5/6th grade combination class. Children will definitely enjoy creating these simple, but impressive ideas!

Great beginner book on Popups

Although written for children, the methods learned in this book can be carried over to any type of pop-up cards. Also shows you how to make a noise-maker card, a card with a slide and a card with a rubber band powered "car" on it. Lots of good ideas.
