DIY Halloween Pop-up Cards

Published: October 2, 2013

I think it may be time for me to post a Halloween project.

Yes. Definitely time.

How about DIY Halloween pop-up cards? Of course, these don’t need to be given as cards, they can be made to decorate your entire home!

DIY Halloween Pop-Up Cards

Materials:

We used a piece of card stock folded into fourths for the cards. Fold each one in half. These are mini cards, but feel free to make larger cards.

To make the basic pop-up card, cut 2 parallel slits in the spine of the card and fold it inward.

Cut out some cool Halloween items from the card stock- you can draw them on the back side of the paper or just eyeball it.

Then you just glue your cool Halloween items on to the front part of the fold. Don’t glue them too far down to the bottom of the card, or it won’t fold shut.

For the spider pop-up, we simply cut out a strip of paper, folded it into an accordion, and glued it to the card and spider.

pop-up cards!

    • It’s amazing how advanced some of these pop-up cards can get. There are some incredible pop-up artists out there and it was hard for me to get through this post because I kept getting sucked into looking at more!
