Overview

It's hard not to give in to the magic of pop-up books. Everyone, adults and children, we can not stop marveling each time we turn a page and suddenly something is built in three dimensions before our eyes. "How difficult it must be to do this," thought most of us. But here is a book that shows that making your own pop ups is not as impossible as it seems. Antje von Stemm teaches us, step by step, with clear explanations, drawings, photographs and funny videos, how to build these three-dimensional works of art on paper. The learned pop-ups can be used in self-published books, birthday cards or celebrations, or any other application that comes to mind to surprise those who least expect it, and start from the most basic to more complicated creations. With easy-to-follow explanations and enjoyable language, this book is perfect for adults who want to teach children how to experiment and play with paper, a bit of glue and scissors. It is also the perfect companion for teachers, educators and parents who can use the ideas featured in this book in their classes or as an activity for a stay at home day. The book QR codes to video tutorials so that no one gets lost in the explanations.
