Helpful Hint #1
Colorful paper containing writing or drawings may be
placed behind a pop-up opening for visual interest.
Helpful Hint #2
Pop-up books are created page by page, but then the pages must be fastened back-to-back.
Create a flexible backing by cutting a page of card stock in half and re-attaching the two halves with masking tape on both front and
back.
