Movie Monster Pop-Up Cards

Make three mechanical movie monster postcards for Halloween.

Send spine-chilling Halloween greetings to your spookiest family and friends! Each postcard in this session utilizes movable parts that breathe life (and sometimes fire!) into the featured movie monster. Using simple hand tools and a kit of pre-cut pieces, you will fold and glue your way to a completely monstrous trio in just 90 minutes. You will also learn a bit about the fundamental tools, materials and techniques of paper engineering. Great for beginners!

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.
