Step 2

Turn the paper over. Fold each side to the middle fold with a hard crease.

Step 3

Turn the paper over. Fold each side in half with a hard crease.

Step 4

Fold the paper in half with the sides folded in and cut both sides together carefully on the solid lines to make three slits.

Open the base with the two side folds as mountains and middle fold flat.

Assemble the Book

Carefully slide each scene from back to front into the slots on each side for a 3-D effect.

Now you have created a sculptural book!
