Sticky-note Page Corner Bookmark Redux

Back in December of last year I posted instructions to making a sticky-note page corner, but somebody who calls himself DyNama, King of Post-its commented today about the sticky part touching the pages of the book, which is not something that I would want to happen to anybody.  So, naturally, I had to check it out.  Unfortunately, my original instructions were a little hard to follow.  It took me a while to reproduce what I did in December.  So I’m going to try to clarify a little.  Just doing my bit for Royalty.

Take a square sticky-note and put it face down with the sticky part down and on the side farthest away from you like this:

Fold the side closest to you so that it meets the side farthest away from you and crease it like this:

Then unfold, so it looks like this:

 

Then fold it in half left side to right, like this:

 

And unfold that, so it looks like this:

 

Now flip it over so the sticky part now faces up, but it is still on the side away from you, like this:

 

Then fold the Bottom Right corner to the top left like this:

 

And unfold that, so it looks like this:

 

And fold the bottom left corner to the upper right corner like this:

 

And unfold that. I have marked the folds that have sticky stuff on them with numbers 1-4, so that it looks like this:

 

If you fold corners one to corner two, and corner three to corner four, you will get a thing that looks like this:

 

Then you can fold the stuck together corners into an arrow-like thing like this:

 

Then put it in a book like this:

And there you go.  Is that any better, DyNama, King of Post-its?  Or is the sticky part still connecting with the book?  That didn’t happen when I tried this again, so I’m hoping that my instructions were so unclear the first time that they just misled you.  If so, I’m terribly sorry.
