  Step 1

  Choose a color you want your fortune cookie to be and get that color construction paper. I chose pink :) Draw a reasonably sized circle on it, and cut it out.

• 

  Step 2

  Now, fold the circle in half (without making a crease) so it sort of looks like a taco lol

• 

  Step 3

  Fold the taco shaped paper in half like shown with your index finger.

• 

  Step 4

  After folding it completely, it should look like this

• 

  Step 5

  Add a bit of glue near the crease of the fold and fold it again, just so the shape stays.

  (described bad, but can be seen in the image!:D )

• 

  Step 6

  Now start to work on the fortune cookie note.

  for this, just cut out a strip of white paper

• 

  Step 7

  Write a little note on the paper you cut out!

  I made a few of these. The one in the tutorial is for my mom so I wrote "love you princess" but I also made five for my bf and each one had a different word from the phrase "love you forever and always." You can get really creative and sweet and you don't have to reserve this for valentines day :)

• 

  Step 8

  Add a dab of glue to the written side of the white paper then place it inside the cookie.

• 

  Step 9

  Allow the fortune to dry in the cookie and it should look like this!

• 

  Step 10

  Just to spruce it up, I bought a little pink chinese takeout box from my local arts and crafts store, put some shredded paper in it and placed the paper cookie on top.

• 

  Step 11

  I decorated the outside of the box a little and viola! a great valentines day gift! I attached some images of the one I did for my boyfriend so you can feel more inspired if youre doing something for your sweetheart <3

Harmini, I wrote on your wall shortly after publishing mine and you said it was fine. Like I said I had no idea you had a similar tutorial until after.
