How Do You Make A Pop Up Photograph?
Making your favorite photo into a pop-up is fun and relatively easy. Pop up your family, your pet, your best friend, or you can invent your own imaginary scene using magazine cut-outs and drawings.

This image will be folded in half so that the top of the image is the “backdrop” and the bottom of the image is the “floor” or “ground.” You can use two different photos, one for the top, another for the bottom, and glue them onto a sheet of paper. • Cut out separate photos of the objects you want to pop up in front of the background. • Fold the background photo in half (photo on the inside) and press along the fold.
