So, you may ask, what are these things? Do you recognize them? Perhaps you played with them as a child?
They are paper fortune tellers. I made a whole bunch of them for a Halloween party that my son had over the weekend. Actually, the ones that you see in this post are just the leftovers. I made extras, so that the kids could have a variety of styles and colors from which to choose.
The 6x6" Crate Paper "Pretty Party" pad worked a treat for this project. The papers are printed on one side but plain white on the other (so that the kids can write in the fortunes), and there is a good mix of "boyish" and "girlish" patterns. These fortune tellers are quick to make, plus they are lots of fun. Want to make your own fortune teller? A simple search will show that instructions and examples abound on the web; there is even a Wikipedia article!
It's always nice to make a "just for fun" project. I hope that the upcoming weekend will bring some fun, creative time for you. Have a good one!

so adorable.. I make this when I was children !!! very beautiful with the patterned paper !
I didn't recognize them from the top view photo. My DD has a giant one made from a poster board...one of her prized possessions.
It's fun to do things just because you want to, isn't it? I love that you shared these with us, Denise! Thanks!!!!
I remember making those and playing with them. This brings back memories.
Thanks for bringing back a fun childhood memory, Denise! :)
These are so cool Denise! We often used to make them as kids too...I think we drove my parents crazy!!!!! ;-)
These are so much fun! Josh was asking me to make him one a couple of weeks ago - so many childhood memories just came flooding back!
