Question

Does it have to be with sticky notes?

Community Answer

No, you can cut some paper to the correct size and use glue to imitate the sticky part.

Question

Can you provide additional information on the third step?

Community Answer

When you have the bottom part towards the top, fold it so it looks like two triangles instead of folding it the other way and getting no triangles.
