Felt Fortune Cookies



I found this adorable felt Valentine craft on Martha's website and am smitten. All you need is felt, ribbon, craft glue, floral wire and whatever you want to fill them with. I'm totally doing this for class parties and Visiting Teaching next month! Oh yeah.

There is no sewing involved, so if you can cut and glue, you're golden. Here's the link with instructions:

ps. A lady commented she used craft sheet foam instead of felt and they turned out even better.

I wade these last year for Chinese New Year! But I made them with just brown felt. Mine didn't quite come out as cute as Martha's, but they were still fun!!

Okay, that last comment was me! I am on my husbands computer and I always forget to sign him off! So you don't have a random strange man coming to your blog commenting about felt fortune cookies! It is just me!!

Oh man I CAN CUT AND GLUE!!!! The kids would love love love to make these. They will do the filling part and I will do the gluing part. I think the sheet foam is a good idea too.

Ps You and C. can have the secrets as long as you share the goods ;)

"My professional life has been centered on the home, the well being of the family and everything that these subjects encompass. When I began working in this area more than 25 years ago, the subject of homemaking as it relates to families was largely overlooked, though the interest was clearly broad and the desire for information strong. My colleagues and I soon discovered we were satisfying a deeply felt unmet need."
