Download the strip-and-tab mechanism templates and practice creating movement in cards, pop-up books, and paper engineering projects When we think of a pop-up book, we usually imagine large structures that unfold when we open a page. However, much of the magic of these creations comes from much simpler mechanisms: small strips and tabs that can make an illustration move, appear, or change position with a simple flick of the wrist. If you want to take your first steps in paper engineering, this downloadable resource will let you practice two of the most commonly used mechanisms in pop-up cards and interactive books. All you have to do is print the templates, follow the instructions, and experiment with different movements before incorporating them into your own projects.
