Did you ever want to see
into the future? Make an origami fortune teller, and
you can find out what the future holds for you and
your friends! Here's how to do it:
|
1. Start
with an 8 1/2 X 11 piece of paper. To make it perfectly
square, fold one short edge up to one long edge
and make a crease. Cut off excess and unfold.
|
|
|
2. Fold
the opposite corners together to make a second crease
and unfold. You will now have a square piece of
paper with diagonal creases going from corner to
corner.
|
|
|
3. Fold
each corner to the center and turn over.
|
|
|
4. Fold
the new corners to the center. Do not turn over.
|
|
|
5. Fold
the square in half from edge to edge in both directions.
|
|
|
6. Turn
square over and put thumbs and forefingers under
each flap and bring fingers together toward middle.
|
|
|
7. Now
write a color on each outside flap, and a number
on each inside triangle. You will have four colors
and eight numbers. Finally, write a fortune behind
each number on each innermost triangle. Voila! Your
origami fortune teller is complete!

Count out that number by opening and closing
the fortune teller, and stop.

flap beneath that number and read your friend's
fortune!
