Again it's time for inspiration. This week I share with you an interview with the paper engineer Matthew Reinhart, direct from his studio. He is an award-winning designer of pop-up books including most recently Star Wars: The Ultimate Pop-Up Galaxy. Matthew shows us his handmade pop-up prototypes and his process for designing the interactive pages of this new book.
This tutorial explains an easy way to make the range of pop-up shapes that are based on Parallel-folds. Although simple in themselves they are an important feature of pop-up design as they often form the foundation of highly complex mechanisms.
Follow along as we create pop up animals in this basic tutorial.
This activity is appropriate for all ages (although some younger kids might need a little help).
In this video, I will show you the most beautiful, stunning and amazing pop-up books from my pop-up book collection.
