Pop-Up Mini Creatures

Build three miniature pop-up cards featuring charming woodland creatures.

Pop-ups are all about the "wow" factor. Building pop-ups in miniature maximizes the "wow" factor, as dramatic structures emerge from tiny spaces. Using just card stock, glue and a handful of simple tools, you will build three miniature pop-up cards that feature a snail, a snake and a robin (plus a sneaky little worm).

All levels are welcome.

Supplies needed by participants:

bone folder, microspatula, tweezers, pva or other strong white craft glue

NOTE: 

We set our pricing to pay our instructors a fair wage and cover materials, but one of FBAC’s goals is to give access to the experience of all things bookbinding and printing to anyone who is interested. If you or someone you know would like to participate in a class but do not have the funding please reach out to contact@frederickbookarts.org and we will do what we can so no one has to miss out on the experiences we offer.
