At eatsleepdoodle we've been learning how to make paper fortune tellers! Follow the 10 easy steps below and make one along with us.

What you'll need:

Make sure you have some fun coloured paper (any will do!), scissors or a ruler and a pen.

 

Step 1:

Fold the left corner up until it makes a point and is parallel to the top of the piece of paper.

 

Step 2:

Fold the right corner up to meet the top of the first fold. 

 

Step 3:

Cut or rip along the top line (ask an adult for help!) so that you're left with a triangle.

          

 

Step 4: 

Unfold the paper so that it is a square. Then fold each corner into the centre.

          

 

Step 5:

Turn the square over and fold the corners in.

          

 

Step 6:

Then fold the paper in half so it looks like this. Use the bottom corner flaps to make the paper into the fortune teller shape.

 

Step 7:

The shape should look like this! Now it's time to add some fortunes...

          

 

Step 8:

Unfold the fortune teller and use the 8 blank spaces to write your fortunes. We've used kind words for ours!

 

Step 9:

Then begin re-folding into shape. Using the original fold lines as a guide. We suggest writing numbers on the next 8 spaces.

 

Step 10:

Then write something (we used colours) on the outside of the fortune teller. And decorate in any way you'd like!

 

Then you're finished! 

 

They're a great activity and super fun to make!
