Demo Pop-up Card - How to make a pop up card with Alternating Retracting Arms

How to make your pop up cards even more interesting try this pop up mechanism, ‘Alternating Retracting Arms with a Wheel’. Here you’ll see how to double up on the Retracting arms mechanism by using the back side of the hub to attach a second wheel and arm that won’t catch on the arm at the front of the hub. This will allow you to make two arms protract and retract up and down in the card. The example demonstrated has two arms alternating one at a time like pedals on a bicycle but depending on where you place each arm the effect will change. You will gain a better understanding of this pop up and will be better able to try your own innovations and design something novel.

Another feature of this pop up card demonstration is that the mechanism sits on a separate page outside the card and after it's assembled, it can then be attached to any card. So you can also build this in miniature and attach that to an existing store-bought card to transform it into an even more interesting, pop-up card. Made all the more special by you. Not only can you make these for your friends, family and acquaintances but you can also make this for work or even your business. Imagine how you can use pop up mechanisms to package, market or just to make stand out presentations.
