Origami Fortune Cookies Materials: • • •

Economy Origami Paper – Pack of 72 – 11031 Paper Cups – Pack of 20 – 11085 Other Materials Required: Pencil, Scissors, Fine Tip Pen

Messages of good fortune are the perfect way to celebrate Chinese New Year and wish your loved ones the best for the future!

1. Trace the top of a paper cup onto the white side of your origami paper to create circles.

Cut your circles out. Adult supervision is recommended when using scissors.

2. With the pattern facing up, fold the circle in half from bottom to top. Run your finger along the fold to create a crease.

3. Unfold your circle and flip it over so the white side is facing up. The line you’ve just folded should be horizontal. Fold the circle in half again, right side to left.

4. Holding the curved edge between the fingers of your left hand, use the index finger of your right hand to gently push in at the centre of the folded edge.

5. With the right index finger pushing in, use your other fingers to pull the edges down to form the traditional cookie shape.

6. The paper will want to pop open so give a gentle squeeze with your left hand on either side of the fold. It should now hold its shape.

7. Cut a strip of paper approximately 1 x 10cm long and write a message of fortune using a fine tip pen.

8. Unravel your folded cookie, place the message inside.

9. Re-fold the cookie so your message is now in place. This is the best way to put the message inside as the cookie should fold back easily. Now your cookie is ready for giving!
