What is a Tunnel Book?

Tunnel books are three-dimensional, layered books that create the illusion of depth and perspective through a series of cut-paper panels arranged like a tunnel. They can range from simple designs to complex, immersive scenes with many layers.

I've taught myself how to make them (researching online, and LOTS of trial and error!) and they are super fun, and a make lovely tiny gifts or keepsakes. I'm taking the plunge and holding my first ever teaching workshop so I can share the love and show others how to make these too! I'm nervous, but excited!!

Tunnel books combine creativity, craftsmanship, and visual storytelling, making them a unique and engaging form of art. I hope you give them a try.
