This is a fun project to do, using only stickers, paper and glue. The fish pop-up cards were a nice, quick project to go along with the Panchatantra "Tale of the Three Fish." These also would make really cool cards if you have a Ganesha or OM sticker to use.
Materials
Stickers
Card stock
Scissors
Glue Stick
One colored card stock 5 x 6 (folded) This is the outside paper.
One colored card stock 4 3/4 x 5 1/2 (folded) This is the inside paper.
Directions
1. Place sticker (pop-up image) onto cardstock. Cut out and decorate.
2. With the inside paper (4 3/4 x 5 1/2) make two parallel cuts. (Photo A) Do not cut this completely out. The rectangular shape (bar) remains attached to the paper.
3. Fold this bar forward. Crease. Then fold it backwards. Crease. Open the card and push the bar into the card. (Photo B and C)
4. Glue the sticker (pop-up image) onto the face of the bar.
5. Glue the inside paper onto the outside card - one side at a time. (Photo D) Make sure that you do not glue the cut out area. Otherwise, your image will not pop-up.
