Interactive paper that bends

I'm trying to do paper that bends naturally. The easiest way to think about it would probably be post-it/stickies. Imagine you have something written on it and want to put it up somewhere so you tear it of the rest. Or if you have played Wilsons Heart in VR and picked up one of the magazines.

I have limited experience in 3D-modelling but have tried my hand at Maya and doing a bone rig. It sort of works but I can't seem to get the weights correct. Not to mention how to make it interactable with constraints etc.

Anyone know how to tackle this issue? The idea is to use it in VR and "tear" notes off.
