Pop Up Letters

Found some great tutorials on how to create pop-up letters.




Print out the words you would like to throw into 3D perspective on a sheet of paper. A heavier card-stock works even better if your printer can handle it. Rule guides along the top, bottom and center of the letters, and again at half the height above the letters.

2. Cut out the sides of the letters. Do not cut the tops and bottoms. Carefully cut all the way through the paper on the solid outlines on the sides of the letters. Ê Also make sure to cut out the central holes in the letters such as o,p,q,r,d.

3. Score (as opposed to cut) the center line through the words and all the way to the edge of the page. Fold the paper inwards along the center guide while pushing the letters outwards. Voila! Your words are now in three dimensions.
