Pop-up books bring smiles and wonder to young and old alike. And to learn just how ordinary paper can be cut, folded, glued and taped to create amazing pop-ups, we decided to go to the masters.

TODAY also asked Sabuda to give the show’s viewers instructions on how to make your own pop-up poinsettia at home. Click here to go to his Web site for his instructions.
