Three-dimensional stand alone pop up assembly and method

A method for making a pop up assembly having an outer structure with two or more panel walls connected with a support structure having a central support member connected at one end with a spreader and at the other end with an internal base wherein the support structure is configured to fold inside the panel walls of the outer structure when the assembly is moved to a position wherein the assembly is substantially three dimensional to a position wherein the assembly is substantially flat comprising the steps of:

• attaching the two or more panel walls to create an outer structure,
• attaching the center support element at one end with the spreader and at the opposite end with the internal base to create a support structure,
• attaching the outer structure with the support structure by connecting the spreader with the two or more panel walls and one end of the internal base with one of the two or more panel walls such that the internal base does not extend beyond the walls of the outer structure when the assembly is in the second position and the internal base folds within the outer structure when the assembly is in the first position,
• attaching another end of the internal base with the outer structure using temporary anchoring means to secure the assembly in the second position.

A method for making and using a stand alone pop-up assembly comprising the steps of:

• (a) providing an outer structure by connecting two or more panel walls to a support structure, wherein the support structure is an internal base;
• (b) permanently attaching one end of the internal base with one end of the outer structure;
• (c) manipulating the assembly into a first position by folding the assembly closed into a one dimensional structure by only manipulating the outer structure and the support structure, and the support structure is contained within the two or more panel walls of the outer structure when in the first position;
• and
• (d) manipulating the assembly into a second position, enfolded into a three dimensional structure by only manipulating the outer structure and the support structure,
• (e) providing means temporarily attaching a second end of the internal base with a second end of the outer structure when in the second position.
