Valentine Fortune Cookies

Fortune Cookies
by Sandy Firestone

The fortune cookies are rolled circles that I cut on the Pazzles Inspiration.

After cutting out the circles, gently roll to form a loose tube overlapping slightly and secure with glue.

Put a fortune into the tube.

Hold with secured edge upward, place thumbs under back, push up bringing outer ends together and secure.

This is such an adorable idea. My coworker saw this project and had probably brought it up 4 or 5 times because she likes it so much haha. It probably helps that we both love chinese food Smile

We do family game nights and make homemade chinese food. I can't wait to show up with these! I thought this would be a fun idea for Halloween too and put ghoulish messages on the inside. Smile

I guess you know who the coworker was Amanda mentioned that couldn't stop talking about this project. *grin

I just found something similar to this in a Martha Stewart Book from the library. I debated about making a pattern from them...you have convinced me to do this. Wouldn't it be cute to give this as a gift to a kid where clues to his/her actual gifts were in the fortune cookies?! I used to do those sorts of things in my classroom. It teaches kids to follow directions. You could use it for birthday party scavenger hunts. I really like this idea!

I love the idea of clues to an actual gift! We've done that concept for our kids and grandkids and it is a blast! I love how this design can be used for so many different themes.

how did you cut the box?

The box is a pattern from the Pazzles Boxes and Bags CD Smile

I had tried to make something like this once before but I think I don't have strong enough glue... I couldn't get them to stay folded into the cookie shape. I'll give it a shot sometime again when I have good glue. Smile

Very cute!

I have had that same problem toni. Then my mom turned me on to Tombo Mono Multi Liquid Glue. It's a fantastic glue, I use it for almost everything now.
