I remember making flips books in art class when I was young. I made one of a bursting star and I thought they were just about the coolest things ever. I wanted to incorporate this fun in a little message flip book. These would be so cute as a card substitute, the thank you’s as part of the favors for a kid’s party, or just to brighten someone’s day. You can’t go wrong. Everyone reverts back to a smiling kid when a flip book is involved!
Supplies:
- Template
- Cardstock and/or copy paper
- Scissors or paper cutter
- Stapler
- Decorative tape
- Optional: Pliers
Directions:
- Click on template to open.
- Print onto card stock.
- If you are making a bunch, you can just print the cover on card stock & the pages on copy paper.
- Cut along solid lines.
- This is the perfect job for a paper cutter because all the liens are straight. You can also cut through several papers at once.
- Place a cover set around each set of pages and straighten.
- Staple the edge of the pages together.
- Flatten the staple with pliers, if desired, and cover with decorative tape.
- Flip through & smile!
