Make a Bird Beak Pop-up Card. When you open the card, the beak opens! This is a very easy project and a lot of fun.

Estimated Time: 20 minutes
Supplies Needed:
  • 2 pieces of paper (2 different colors of card-stock works great)
  • Paste
  • Scissors
  • Crayons and/or markers

Instructions

1.

Fold a piece of paper in half. Cut a line about 2 inches long (5 cm) about the middle of the crease.

Push one of the triangles up and pinch the edges together above the card. Repeat with the other triangle.

5.

Close the card and push down on the folds to make them well-creased. When opened, you have a pop-up beak.

6.

Fold another piece of paper in half (a different color looks great). Glue this new card to the outside of your pop-up card. Don’t glue near the beak area or it won’t open! Let the glue dry.

7.

Draw a bird around the beak and finish decorating your card.

For variations on this card, don’t cut a straight line – cut a wavy line or a zigzag for a scary jagged beak. You can even make more than one beak for more birds.
