video Iris greeting card
This is an iris mechanism built into a greeting card sized card. This version also has slots on the back that allow you to place a 2"x3" photo behind the iris to reveal a picture when the mechanism is operated.

The paper needs to be fairly thick because it needs some stiffness to operate. I use a 14 point (0.014") paper
It can be cut by hand, but it would of course be much easier on a laser or paper cutting machine.

I think the actual assembly would be confusing and hard to understand in written form, that's why I just did the video for this one.
I printed the design and I have no idea how to do it
Thanks so much for sharing templates and instructions.You've saved (a small but significant amount of) my life.
