Reading Colors Your World Pop Up Card, by Teen Librarian Cindy Shutts

July 7, 2021 by Amanda MacGregor   Leave a Comment

Our libraries theme for Summer Reading is the ILA theme “Reading Colors Your World.” We have been doing kinds of different all different rainbow crafts for our patrons, but also because June was Pride month. I choose to do a rainbow pop up card I found on YouTube. It was super cute.

I prepared the hearts to be printed and cut them out and sorted them by size. I used the heart shape in word and made the heart 8 cm tall. I then made the rest of the card shapes One long rectangle 8 cm X 30 Cm and I used the longer paper in the printer to print it out. I then made a short rectangle which measured 14 cm x 1.5. This card is super cute and easy to make. Below are the instructions I put in the craft kits I made for my teens.
