Since you really liked our butterfly pop up card template, we just had to create this DIY Easter pop up card (printable template included).
This fun Easter basket chick pop up card is a fun project to make and a great idea to get kids excited about making pop up cards.

We love Easter! It’s a fun holiday to make all sorts of chick and bunny themed crafts. And since these two are so adorable, the crafts are too!
I loved making pop-up cards as a kid and did quite a few. A few years ago, I even *attempted* to make an actual – admittedly easy – pop-up book that kids could easily assemble themselves. But that project still took some time.
While pop-up books require a lot of thought and effort, pop-up cards are simply an easier alternative, so enjoy these fun pop-up card projects (but stay tuned for more awesome 3D projects coming soon).
Are you ready to make your own Easter pop-up cards? We are!

We based this pop up card on a coloring page I did a few years ago, it seemed perfect (with some changes) to turn into a pop up card and I think it turned out pretty well.
You can print on a variety of papers (regular printer paper will work too) but I recommend printing on thicker printer paper (120-160 GSM).
This project could be a fun Easter craft idea for the classroom because it is easy to do even with younger students.
DIY Easter Pop Up Cards
What you need:
- Our printable template (you can get it at the end of this guide)
- printer
- printing paper – use heavier printing paper
- letter or A4 size paper (pastel Easter colours are great but any colour will do)
- drag
- glue
- coloring materials (colored pencils, markers, crayons).
Adding a little glitter to a project is always fun. Who doesn’t love a little sparkle? But we recommend using glitter glue to avoid getting glitter everywhere.
We have prepared both a video tutorial for this project and step-by-step visual instructions.

Or follow the step by step instructions
Start by printing out our pop-up card template.
As mentioned earlier, thicker paper will work better, but regular printer paper will work just fine. You may not want to use markers on regular paper because they will wrinkle the paper, but they will work fine on thicker printer paper.
Color the patterns.
Be as creative as possible.
If you decided to use glitter or other decorations, now is the time to add them.
We left the background blank so there’s plenty of room for creativity! We hope your kids will draw fields of flowers, bunnies, or even things from outer space to make their DIY pop-up cards even more special!
Once you have everything colored and decorated it’s time to start cutting.
The paper with the chick image must be cut along the outer square border.
Cut, cut, cut!
Fold the paper in half, so that the image is on the inside.
Wrinkles.
Fold the colored cardboard in half.
Glue the chick template onto cardboard.
Try to “hit” the middle.
Fold again to create a more defined crease.
Time to cut and fold some more!
Start by folding the basket – there is a dotted line on the pattern that shows where the basket should fold.
Fold so that the colored part of the basket faces out. Crease.
Cut out the basket.
Apply glue to the chick pattern on the small rectangles on either side.
Glue the other half of the basket in – so that it fits the rectangle.
Done!
Your DIY Easter pop-up card is finished!
