Clawed monster

The pop-up style allows you to use your imagination in creating the most unusual three-dimensional and moving pictures. With its help you can create not only gift cards, but also drawings for children. Any kid will be happy to look at an amusing monster or even draw one with his parents.

Tools
To make a pop-up style drawing, you will need very little. First of all, these are felt-tip pens, scissors or a stationery knife, a small ruler, glue and, of course, paper. It is best to take whatman paper or drawing sheets for this purpose.

How to create a monster
First, a selected white or colored sheet of paper is folded to form a book.

Now on the fold side you need to draw a straight line, which will become the future beak of the monster. You should not lead it too high, otherwise the beak, bending when closing the page, will protrude beyond its limits.

Using scissors, carefully cut the folded page from the fold side.

Now the corner is bent and a fold is formed.

This is what you should get:

The next step is to make a fold at the tip of the beak. Everything is done in exactly the same way, that is, the tip is bent in both directions and a clear line is formed.

After this, the page can be expanded.This is what you should get:

To create the muzzle, all that remains is to bend the formed triangle inward.

From the outside it will look like this:

And here is the finished monster’s face:

Now you can make the eyes. To do this, two identical parallel lines are drawn on the outside of the upper part of the muzzle:

Then they are cut and folded.

Here are the finished eyes:

Now the main part of the work: you need to paint the monster in any colors you like. You can draw a body or, for example, clawed paws. It all depends on the imagination of its creators.

When the drawing is ready, all that remains is to close the hole behind the muzzle. To do this, take a sheet of ordinary white or colored paper (no longer cardboard).
