Hey everyone! This is Carrie from
greenbean's crafterole and I'm super duper excited to be a guest designer here at Everyday Cricut! So for a whole week, no Joy and Melanie. You're going to have to put up with me! Hope you're okay with that! Hee Hee. So who's ready for a project?
With Valentine's Day fast approaching, I thought that some lovey dovey fortune cookies would be super super cute! And since I don't cook, they're made from paper! These are beyond easy to do and can be used for any kind of occassion! You want the recipe? Well fortunately I did up a tutorial!
Using George and Basic Shapes cartridge (or anything that has a circle) cut out at 4 1/2" inches.
Roll up like a cannoli by bringing one end to the other. No creasing with this method.
On the opposite side find the center.
Take your finger and start pushing. You want it to collapse on itself. So don't panic.
Take the ends and pinch 'em together.
Grab a glue dot and plop on there.
Squeeze together so that glue dot will hold.
Take some 1/2" inch strips that are about 3" inches long. These are going to be your fortunes.
Notch the end.
Stamp on a sweet sentiment or you could totally handwrite!
Take your fortune and attach a small glue dot to the end. Then place inside the cookie!
Repeat the process! I kept on going until I could fill up a frosted take out box! The perfect packaging! Now you have one super sweet giftie for your valentine!
Hope you enjoyed day one as much as I did! See you tomorrow!
