Arrange the flip book (FB)pages on one or more pages in Pages, taking care to leave space at one end to staple the FB pages together, and to align the FB pages identically on the paper pages.


Cut the paper to separate the FB pages into single sheets.


Stack the FB pages in order.

Hold the stack of pages with the 'hinge' end up, and tap the bottom end on the table to align the 'flip' end of the pages with each other.

Holding the 'hinge' end tightly, do a test flip to check for out of order pages, and correct if necessary.

When all pages are in the correct order, stack and tap to re-align the 'flip' edge.

Grasp the 'flip' end to keep the pages aligned, and staple the hinge end tightly to maintain the alignment. (depending on the number of pages, this may require a power stapler.)


You may also want to tape over the staple(s) to keep that end intact in use.


Consider also, making a 'two story' flip book. This will require some planning to place the 'front' and 'back' story images in the correct order on each page. You can make a mock up flip book with numbers in one colour for the 'front' story, and a set in the reverse order in a different colour on the other side of the paper.


With these numbered pages, you can easily layout the position of each FB page image on sheets of standard size paper to show which page is to be placed where on the sheet.

Barry
