When you’re done, you should be able to collapse the entire umbrella and flatten it. Take those small creases and push all of them inward toward the center of the umbrella, and flatten each of the eight flaps as you go around. Notice the small creases all around the edges of the umbrella. Unfold them and then fold them in the other direction. Now take those four corners and reverse the folds. Now unfold everything you’ve done up to this point, except the four corners of the Post-it® Super Sticky Note should remain folded. Repeat the same thing with the other flaps. Then unfold both the right and left folds you just made. Lift the left corner of the triangle and fold it up to meet the vertical center crease. Take two of the flaps and push them open so you see a plain triangle shape (be sure to open to one that does not have a flower petal tip). Hold the umbrella so it’s right-side-up, with the eight points on the bottom or facing towards you. Look at the umbrella as if you’re standing underneath it and looking up. Once you’re done, it should be starting to look like an umbrella. It’s easiest to work on the adhesive flaps first. Repeat the same thing with the remaining three flaps. Take the tip of the flower petal you just made, and pull it towards you and down as far as it will allow you to go. Push down on the crease and flatten it out so it looks kind of like a flower petal. Take one of the triangle flaps and stick your finger into the opening. Now you should have two triangle-shaped flaps on the right and two triangle-shaped flaps on the left.

Flatten these creases and push them together.

This will cause folds to form along the diagonal creases.

Push the right bottom corner of the square in to meet the top corner of the small triangle. Notice the square shape has a diagonal crease on both sides. Now you should have a square shape on the right side of the unit, and a small triangle shape on the left. Now flatten out the fold along the bottom edge of the triangle, pushing the right corner of the triangle up to meet the top corner. Lift the top flap of the triangle and pull the top corner of it over to meet the bottom left corner, folding along the diagonal crease on the left side. Notice the three creases on the front of the triangle. After you reverse the fold, hold the triangle so its largest side is on the bottom. Reverse the fold you just made, so the adhesive is now on the inside and on the left side of the front sheet. Then fold it diagonally again, so it forms a triangle in the other direction. Unfold.įold the Post-it® Super Sticky Note in half diagonally, so it forms a triangle. This time you will have adhesive on just one side. Rotate the Post-it® Super Sticky Note and fold it in half again, but in the other direction. After folding, you should have adhesive on both sides. Mark your Planners – Help kids visually by marking their planners or binders with important due dates for library books, school projects, etc.With the adhesive side facing out, fold the Post-it® Super Sticky Note in half horizontally.
