Materials & setup
Before you start
Use thin card
Card of 160–200 g/m² folds crisply and holds a pop-up upright. Printer paper works for practice but sags.
Cut through both layers
Keep the card folded while you cut each slit from the spine, so both halves match exactly.
Crease before you push
Fold each strip forward and back along its crease first. Then it pushes inside cleanly and stands up square.
