Dynamic Pop-Ups for Miniature Books (Online)

Pop-up books are most magical when impossible images emerge with the turn of a page. Strategies for creating expansive structures are useful in miniature books, as they allow you to exponentially increase the drama and content. Using cardstock and a small set of simple hand tools, you will build and then bind a variety of pop-up structures. All levels are welcome; participants with binding or paper craft skills will have a leg up.
