1. 1
   

   Firstly , get coloured paper . Choose what colour you want your paper cookie to be .

   I usually use textured brown paper , to make it look more realistic . But since it's Valentine's Day , I opted for pink (:

   
   
2. 2
   

   Firstly draw a circle onto the paper . The bigger the circle , the bigger the cookie .

   I used a mini Starbucks cup to get the circle because I wanted mine small .

   
   
3. 3
   

   Cut it out . Fold the circle in half , make sure you do not crumple the circle.

   
   
4. 4
   

   Hold the paper as shown in the picture . Do not press it down .

   
   
5. 5
   

   Bring the two end sides together .
   When you do that , the middle part will fold in .

   If you want it to look more realistic , fold it off center . So it'll be uneven .

   
   
6. 6
   

   However I wanted mine to look more like a heart , so I folded it right in the middle .

   
   
7. 7
   

   It'll look something like that ( as shown in picture ) .

   
   
8. 8
   

   Cut a strip of paper to write your fortune / love note on .

   Make sure it's small enough to fit inside the fortune cookie & long enough to be pulled out of it .

   
   
9. 9
   

   Then just place the note inside & try bending to see how it looks like .

   
   
10. 10
    

    When your satisfied , place glue/sticky tape , bring the side together & let it stick .

    
    
11. 11
    

    & there you have it , Valentine's Day Fortune Cookie :D

    But I did a little something extra , I wanted to place my cookie in a small Chinese takeout box .

    I got this template via Google :

    http://www.ruthannzaroff.com/mirkwooddesigns/takeout.htm

    I suggest grayscaling it or making the lines fade before printing it out .

    Or if you aren't as lazy as me , you could print a copy & cut it out , & then place it on another paper & cut out so you won't have the lines/writing on it .

    
    
13. 13
    

    Once you've printed it & folded it ;

    Then you can place your fortune cookie inside your takeout box & your done! :D

    
    
14. 14
    

    & you can decorate your take out box with anything you like , get crafty! (:

    Good luck , loves!
