Sticker Peel

Press a sticker and pull to peel it off, then drop it anywhere.

five die-cut stickers loose on a board. press one and pull, and the paper folds back over itself so what is on top of the sticker is the back of the same sticker.

key insight: the fold is a reflection. mirroring the sticker across a crease square to the pull carries the peeling edge exactly onto the hand, so one clip polygon serves both the face and the flap and there is no second clip to keep in step with the first.

the peel runs from an edge picked once and then held. deriving it from the pull every frame is the obvious build and it makes the lifted corner hop from one side of the sticker to another every time the hand changes direction.
