POP-UP CARDS - HOW TO MAKE A BASIC FACE | ||
V.Ryan © 2016-2021 | ||
Making a basic face with a opening and shutting mouth, is quite straightforward. It requires a limited amount of folding and cutting. The stages are shown below. |
||
1. Take a piece of card and fold it in half. Apply pressure along the fold. | ||
2. Using a scissors, cut a line, as shown in the diagram, halfway across the folded card. How will you find the middle / centre of the card? |
||
3. Fold each of the ‘sides’, to create a ‘V-fold’. | ||
4. Open the card and flatten the two V-folds. Then push the two V-folds out the opposite side of the card. |
||
5. This produces a mouth that opens and shuts, as the card is opened and closed. Try opening and shutting the card. |
||
6. To produce eyes, shut the card and cut two lines, as shown in the diagram. The cuts should not be too long. | ||
7. Fold the eyes back to create a crease in the card. You can add further decoration, such as large cartoon eyes. Add backing card. |
