Summer Agamograph Template

We have another fun project for your kids (or you) to do during the hot summer months, this time we are sharing with you a fun summer agamograph template.

Making an agamograph is really fun and we hope this pattern will inspire your child to start making their own agamograph.

So what is an agamograph? Well, it’s two pictures in one, and depending on which side you’re looking at it from, you’ll see a picture appear. There are a million possibilities for how to create an agamograph. Once you know how, your child will be able to create their own agamographs.

This technique is super fun to make as a homemade gift – think how fun family photos would be if they were presented this way.

With summer temperatures as high as they are (at least here), we’re sharing a summer agamograph print (you can find the print at the end of this tutorial). There are two summer designs on it, both of which feature the same scene but from different angles.

The first photo shows a sailboat at sea with the sun in the background (also known as a top view).

The second picture shows an underwater scene with lots of fish and other sea creatures. You can also spot the same boat and sun in this scene (also known as a bottom view).

Are you ready to create an agamograph? We are sure you are!

How to Create an Agamograph with Our Summer Agamograph Template

What you need:

  • our printable summer agamograph template

  • drag
  • ruler
  • scoring tool (we usually use something available, in this case a ruler)
  • printer
  • paper (thicker paper is best, but regular printer paper will work too)

Ready? Let’s get started!

Or follow this step-by-step guide with tips and tricks

Print our summer agamograph template.

We recommend using thicker paper (we used 120 gsm) but regular printer paper will work too.

You can get our printable template at the end of this tutorial.

Color the pattern.

Score along the lines.

We used a long ruler that we placed along the lines and marked them with another ruler. Easy peasy. You can also just fold along each line, without marking, however marking the lines will make the folds look nicer.

Cut agamograph (around the outer contour only).

Fold accordion style along the marked lines.

Continue folding.

Once the entire agamograph is folded, you’re done. It’s ready to display.
