Hey there! Have you ever wanted to make your very own paper fortune teller? It’s super easy and a lot of fun! Let’s dive into this step-by-step guide and create one together. 😊
What You’ll Need:
- A square piece of paper (any color you like!)
- Markers, crayons, or colored pens
- Your imagination!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Start with a square paper: If you have a rectangular sheet, fold one corner to the opposite edge to form a triangle and cut off the excess.
- Fold diagonally: Fold the square in half diagonally to form a triangle, then unfold. Repeat with the other corners. You should have an ‘X’ crease on your paper.
- Fold the corners to the center: Bring each corner of the square to the center point where the creases meet. You’ll end up with a smaller square.
- Flip it over: Turn your paper over so the flaps are facing down.
- Fold the corners to the center again: Just like before, bring each corner to the center. Now you have an even smaller square.
- Fold in half: Fold the square in half horizontally, crease it well, then unfold. Fold it in half vertically, crease, and unfold. These creases will help in the next step.
- Open the pockets: Gently lift the flaps and insert your fingers into the four openings underneath.
- Shape your fortune teller: Push the corners together so it forms a pyramid shape. Ta-da! 🎉 You’ve made a paper fortune teller!
Time to Decorate!
Now comes the fun part: decorating your fortune teller!
- Outside flaps: Write four different colors or draw colorful dots.
- Inside triangles: Write numbers from 1 to 8.
- Hidden fortunes: Lift each numbered flap and write a fun fortune or message underneath. Be creative! 🌟
How to Play:
- Ask a friend to choose a color displayed on the outside.
- Spell out the color while opening and closing the fortune teller with each letter.
- Have them pick a number that’s visible inside.
- Open and close the fortune teller that many times.
- Ask them to pick one last number, lift the flap, and read their fortune! 🔮
Enjoy sharing fortunes with your friends and family! It’s a great way to have fun and spread smiles. 😄
