Cards are a wonderful way to connect with each other and say,
“Hey, I am thinking about you” or,
To reach out to someone and say, “I care about you, and I want to know how you’re doing.”
And whether you are a kid or an adult, nothing is sweeter and magical than receiving and opening a handmade pop up card.
They may seem complicated, but pop up cards are actually easy and fun to make.
They are also a great hands-on craft project to do with your kids and perfect for any occasion!
Here's a simple step-by-step guide perfectly crafted for kids and for all ages!
Ready. Craft. Cut!
Materials:
- Thick white paper
- Colored construction paper
- Glue and scissors
- Ruler
- Colored pencils, magic markers, crayons (or whatever coloring materials you might have)
Step-by-Step Instructions on How To Make A Pop Up Flower Card:
1. Make the base of your pop up card.
Fold the colored construction paper on the longer side (any color you want) and cut it along the crease.
Fold one of the halves and set it aside afterward.
2. Let’s make the flowers!
Fold another colored construction paper twice (any color you want).
Open the paper and fold the bottom corners toward the middle.
Cut across the top edge, then cut along the center of the fold.
When you unfold the paper, you now have two small triangles or squares.
Fold the small triangles twice in half.
To resemble a cone, trace a curve, then cut along the line.
Unfold the paper to reveal the flower!
Repeat the process to make two more flowers using other colored construction paper!
3. Decorate the flowers.
Draw some cute floral designs using your coloring materials.
4. Finalize the form of the flowers.
Cut out one petal of each of the flowers and glue together the two side petals.
There should be 6 petals in each of the flowers, and they are bent inward towards the center.
5. Connect the flowers.
Choose the flower you like to place in the middle.
Using glue or glue stick, connect the other two flowers on the left and right sides to a petal.
6. Make the flower pop up!
Get your pop up card's base. Glue the flowers to the side while keeping the centerline folds (middle flower and base card) aligned.
Tadah! You’ll have a lovely 3D card that’s sure to impress!
Tips for art-mazing success:
- Much of this fun-filled activity requires a pair of scissors, so TAKE EXTRA CARE while handling, or seek the supervision of an adult. ✂️❗
- For the flowers, you can explore other beautiful colors.
- You may also add leaves, butterflies in the background or just simply write a sweet message.
