Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare your letter-size cardstock by folding it in half to form the book base.

2. On a separate sheet, draw or print the ballet dancer and the geese images. Keep the scale smaller than the book size.

3. Carefully cut out the ballet dancer and each goose separately.

4. Fold small strips of paper into accordion or tab shapes to act as pop-up supports.

5. Attach one end of the strip to the back of the ballet dancer cutout and the other end to the center fold of the book page, ensuring the figure pops up when the book opens.

6. Repeat the pop-up tab process for the geese, placing them behind the dancer at various distances to create depth.

7. Decorate the background and book pages with colors or additional drawings to enhance the scene.

8. Let all glue dry completely before opening and closing the book repeatedly.

9. Optionally, add a cover page with a title or decoration to finish your letter-size pop-up book.
