Fortune Cookie

Measure of Love papercraft

Instead of trying to pry out the fortune paper and get it back into a real fortune cookie without breaking it, cut and fold a unique paper craft love note.

The "fortune cookie" is made fully out of paper. Type in your own message with the included PDF Template. See a free list of 101 fortune cookie messages to inspire your personal love fortune.

Some sample messages include:

  • I am very fortunate to have you by my side as my beautiful wife. 

  • This cookie has 0 calories so you can take a break from counting. 

  • Tonight we are going out to ________.

  • You are invited to an amazing evening tonight in the living room at 9pm.

Use the paper clip to score the fold line in the center of the diamond shape. The fold line guide is the brown dash line.
Line up the paper clip on the dash line, then place the ruler next to it to keep straight. Push down and slide clip along the dash line only.

Once the fold line is scored, use the craft knife and ruler to cut out the fortune message. When cutting, keep the cut path slightly inside of the line so that you do not see a line around the edges.

Use a pen along each of the triangles that make up the center diamond. Curl the paper around the pen without creasing or folding. Repeat for the other 3 sides.
