I purchased this book hoping to find out a few tricks beyond the simple "strip" style pop up. I was very pleasantly surprised to find instructions for turning circles, 3-D cages, and sliders, among others! Given the number of projects included in the book, I feel it's an exceptional value! Instructions and diagrams were clear and easy for me to follow and I look forward to sharing some of these projects at my local elementary school, where I volunteer as art director for a 5/6th grade combination class. Children will definitely enjoy creating these simple, but impressive ideas!

Although written for children, the methods learned in this book can be carried over to any type of pop-up cards. Also shows you how to make a noise-maker card, a card with a slide and a card with a rubber band powered "car" on it. Lots of good ideas.

Joan Irvine's book, "How to make POP-UPS," has more than fifty ideas that will be helpful to beginning teachers. It is also helpful to anyone who enjoys working with crafts. This book is filled with all sorts of ideas that range from making a pop-up strip, to making a cage, to making your own trapeze book. Irvine commences the book by suggesting the materials(paper, scissors, string,rubber bands, buttons etc...) to be used. Then,Irvine informs the reader of the symbols and definitions to be utilized on each individual pop-up. Irvine also gives helpful suggestions for folding, cutting, and measuring. I suggest this book to anyone who enjoys making crafts.

What a fun book! It has easy to follow directions and illustrations. I have used them in my cards and they were enjoyed by all who saw them.

This is such a practical and useful book for me. I like to make cards and have used so many of Joan's ideas and have received many compliments.

This book makes pop ups easy even for the beginner. The illustrations are very clear as are the instructions.
