I thought the book was delightful. The directions for each design are extremely clear, which is NOT always the case with origami books. One great design is a sticky note take on a flexagon, which works very well since the paper comes with its own stickiness -- no transparent tape required. The models are relatively easy (till the last few), so this would be a good book for an origami novice. An experienced folder might want to take a look at a copy before purchasing.

Sticky Note origami contains a lot of models that you would have already seen in many basic origami books. Many of the models do not actually have to be folded with sticky notes.

If you want a book for some quick cleaver folds for the office, I suggest Office Origami: The Highly Successful Slacker's Guide to Workplace Procrastination. Its another basic book, but I'd rate it higher than this one.

With that said, this book is not a complete write off, the Wizard shown on the front cover is quite cool. I guess its not too bad for the price, and maybe beginner folders would like it.

When things are slow at work I made these shapes and leave them on desks of coworkers. While I am a suspect, nobody has come forward with a claim it was me. It will be fun to see how long I can get away with it. A fun little book to chase away those dull monday (or whatever day of your week is slow) hours.

This Book is way more awesome than I thought it would be. I love the clear directions. the Illustrations are clear and very easy to follow.
I definitely recommend this book to Origami fans.

I bought this for a sibling who worked in a cubical office with computers. As anyone who works in computers knows there are times when you just have to sit there waiting for the computer to finish "thinking". According to my sibling this was a great little thing to keep their hands and mind busy when they would have otherwise been bored stiff without it taking away from the job at hand.

Have a friend or family who works in a cubical? Keep this in mind for their birthday.

The book contains 25 designs. Many of these are pointless tile patterns. Most figures are standard designs - you join 2 post-its to make your starting square paper. A number of designs would require an explanation for a viewer to recognise what they are suppposed to be. When I ordered the book I expected I would end up with lovely little figures across my desk cleverly folded from post-its - there wasn't one figure I would display. Don't bother with this book - there are plenty better - even free stuff off the web is higher standard.

I thought I was going to get instructions for little origami figures/animals but that is not so. Most of the designs require more than one sticky and the designs are pretty ridiculous as in "What the heck would I make that for?" I'm not even inspired to try one design and I am an artsy crafty person! It's a waste of money for the book and a big waste of sticky notes. I'm glad I bought a used one for a few bucks.

this book is very nice and i like it a lot there are some really cool models in this book like diamonds where if you put the mtogether it lookes like a 3 dimentional shape i like this book a lot i has some really cute models like wizards and cool shapes A great buy for anyone who gets bored at the desk (or school for that matter.)

... it wasnt what i thought it would be. but its great... something to do at work. i was able to make a few things... but i need'd the correct sized post-its and didnt have any... o'well
