Layer Pop-up
Step 1:
Begin with an 8 1/2" x 11" piece of construction paper or card stock. Card stock works best and is easily obtained from any office suppy store.

You may also begin by using a manila filing folder. This may be easier for very young pop-up makers (if using a manila filing folder skip to Step 3).
Step 2:
Fold the construction paper in half to form a card
Step 3:
Draw two parallel lines of equal height towards the fold of the card.
The lines don't have to be perfect as long as they are the same height.
Step 4:
Cut along both lines starting at the folded edge.
Step 5:
Fold the cut section back...
Step 6:
...and crease well along the edge with your thumb or finger.
