Anyone have sources (links, books) for instructions on how to make 2-dimensional pages, with things like pop-up, moving parts, raised figures?

Jenn -- all I know is to do the figure and then glue an accordion folded strip behind it. Maybe you could check Valentine directions as sometimes they have ideas for pop-up hearts that you could adjust.

Also, anytime you want to have figures move, you can always use those metal "paper fastener" things that you poke thru a hole and then spread the two ends.....

Doesn't Dinah Zike's book on making books have some pop-up stuff?

Oh, Jenn! What fun, I adore pop-up books! I found a few links….

This one is a fairly simplistic instruction, but looks like the basics you need in order to make more complex designs.   This looks like a great site full of information.

I think I saw the author of this book on a morning chat show when it came out… There are a ton of books on Amazon, but I loved the look of this one

Try the search ”how to make pop up books” on the store. Great stuff!

Jenn, our library has a few titles:

Moving art
    Devonshire, Hilary.
Pop-o-mania : how to create your own pop-ups
    Valenta, Barbara.
and
How to make pop-ups
    Irvine, Joan, 1951-
How to make super pop-ups
    Irvine, Joan, 1951-

We used the Irvine book a little, it was very simple but gave directions we could use.

This site Mirkwood designs had a few pop up templates if I remember right. It has a lot of other cute things that can be used for lapbooks/cards too. Please let us know if you find something good!

Thanks for the help..I'll have to take some time to peruse.

I have a little idea for our family rosary. We have a flip easel with the rosary pictures, but I was thinking of maybe making an open-up picture for each mystery, with some movement and "pop-up" for my toddler. He needs some more hands-on for captivation during the rosary.
