Pop Up Tunnel - Abstract - Just For You


size closed: 4.5"w x 6.5"h
mechanism: 3"w x 4"h (closed)
opens to 3"w x 2"h x 2.25"dp approx with 4 windows plus the door.

Mary one of our Art Of The Fold members showed us a video clip from Kit Davey with this finished structure... no details... After doing the 1st one I thought to make the mechanism  a bit wider..

A circle at the top to keeps the mechanism closed.

Basic white card base (9"w x 6.5"h) folded in half, black cardstock then a layer of a background on w/c paper I created a long time ago...

Created the mechanism basic shape from black cardstock 6.75" x 3" scored at 1/2"+ 2 1/8"+ 2"+ 2 1/8" with a 1/2" end to glue to create the box.

Cut the front window in the main structure before gluing.

For these dimensions cut 3 more widows  3"w x 2.5"h. Note: the 3.5" h section is scored 1/2" on top an bottom to glue to the mechanism after windows are cut out.. Glue to basic box. Add images either before or after gluing, I did it after...

I glued one of the images over the whole back area instead of using a window.

Glue half a circle to the card to keep the mechanism closed.

Art Of The Fold - Pop Up Accordion

I joined a group of ladies, some of them who took a BVCG class in January 2020 - Art Of The Fold (authored by Hedi Kyle & Ulla Warchol). It was one class I didn't take...  Thea Lynn Paul is organizing us via ZOOM meetings to share our creations..

 The first structure I decided to make after flipping through the book was this Pop Up accordion..

Scribbled Lives 2020 - Wk 5 - Words of Wisdom - Pop Up Accordion




Scribbled Lives 2020 - Wk 5 - Words of Wisdom - Pop Up Accordion. I altered the basic design by sandwiching 2 colors of cardstock together. Mine is also shorter - only 6"h x 12"w fully opened.

Wrote my quotes using Kuretake Silver Mica ink and a pointed pen in a font called "Anders" by Tom Anders Watkin available on  Graphic Design Junction
