Pop-Up Notes - Part 1

This class will teach anyone how to make three-dimensional handmade notes using pop-up techniques similar to paper engineering. All the examples can be completed at the end of each clip.

You will learn some tips on how to add notes to the portions that pop, how to choose and fold paper and how to use different types of folds to make a variety of structures and use them to express yourself in notes.

9This class will be taught with a three-part series. The first will demonstrate basic folds, the second, 3-D structures that will pop from 90º (like a half-open book), or 180º (flat) angles. All three classes will be published at the same time giving beginners a chance to gradually build on new skills and to give the more experienced a chance to jump right in and choose which pop-up technique they want to explore.

At the end of each class, everyone will be asked to post a final project with a clear challenge: to post a picture of a note that is written and displayed with all the techniques that you learn in each part, but you will need to create one new pop-up technique to share. Hint: we will also learn how to add a pop-up note inside a pop-up note!

Finally, there is room for everyone - whether in part 1, part 2, or part 3. If you want to challenge yourself even further, each part will offer links that you can use to stretch and put in practice what you learn in "Pop-Up Notes - Bring Life to Every Page."
