  Step 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 (:

• 

  Step 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 .

• 

  Step 3

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

• 

  Step 4

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

• 

  Step 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 .

• 

  Step 6

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

• 

  Step 7

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

• 

  Step 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 .

• 

  Step 9

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

• 

  Step 10

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

• 

  Step 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 .

• 

  Step 12

  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 .

• 

  Step 13

  Once you've printed it & folded it ;

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

• 

  Step 14

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

  Good luck , loves!
