Later in the book there are geometric designs ('simple structures). The only marginally useful design was the butterfly, it comes in two flavors: Male and Female and it is difficult to tell which is which. The author just folds a bit of the right side and then it approximates an elephant with a trunk (in the opinion of the author). This is 'sticky note origami' as defined by a lawyer. The rest is then folded in the classic origami way but two layers of paper thick. The author just pasted to post-its together in order to avoid the sticky strip. The worst cheat is the crane (here: 'flapping bird'). This is not origami, you can do better with a pair of scissors. The "cheating heart" was extremely cheating - the author makes a small cut and then just bends the rest back to resemble a heart. However, most of the designs are being put together by two, sometimes three post-its. The sticky strip could have been put to interesting use. And, as sticky notes are usually close at hand in offices, you should never find yourself with a dull moment at work again! Consequently, the designs included in this book are necessarily simple, but this should be seen as a bonus rather than a disadvantage. The main limiting factor is the size of the notes, which militate against complexity. As far as origami goes, there is, as this book shows, little that can not be done with sticky notes and a little ingenuity. It is therefore not surprising that paperfolders should also have begun to explore the folding potential of that other modern phenomenon, the sticky note, which provides some unique design surprises of its own. But what we do know is that today's paperfolders will happily fold virtually anything, anywhere: Paris Metro tickets, advertising flyers, teabag labels, business cards and so on. It is impossible to say when and where paper was first folded, or who it was that first discovered that paperfolding could be more than just a practical way to prevent furniture rocking.
Origami, or paperfolding, is a modern phenomenon with ancient roots.

You can experiment with adding more folds in the wings to make different bats. …open out the wings slightly and you’ve got yourself a bat!.Turn the model over and repeat the last step with the other wing….Now you just need to fold the wings up! Fold the top wing only, by taking the outside point towards you and up, so the bottom edge is now in line with the central crease from the previous step.Pick the model up and fold in half, backwards along the central crease, wing tip to wing tip.Fold this little triangle down, over the edge you folded up in the last step.Fold the bottom edge up, but not all the way – just so there’s just a small triangle of the underneath layer showing.Fold in half vertically, bringing the left point over to the right point.Fold in half horizontally, bottom corner to top corner.Start with the square of paper in a ‘diamond’.Remember, with origami you need to fold neatly and crease each fold firmly as you make them. All you need is a square of thin-ish paper. This simple origami bat is fun and quick to make and makes great decorations for Halloween.
