Celebrate New Year’s Eve by sharing personalized messages through these easy to make paper fortune cookies.

fortune cookies made from paper for new years


 

Why we love this craft

You can use the printable messages I created, or make up your own. These fortune cookie messages are fun to give to friends, family and neighbors, and kids will love them for their friends and teachers too!

I recommend using scrapbook paper. Construction paper is a lower quality paper and may not give and bend the way you need it to. However, if you would like to give construction paper a try, by all means, do! I would love to hear how your fortune cookie messages turn out!

How to make Paper Fortune Cookie Messages

Find the full printable instructions at the end of this post.

  1. Cut scrapbook paper into circles that measure 3 1/2″ in diameter.
  2. Turn the circles over and place a glue dot at the top edge or each one.
  3. Fold the circle in half, securing with the glue dot. Do not crease the fold.
  4. Print off the messages I’ve provided on the template, or open up a Word document and create your own sayings! If you prefer, you can handwrite your messages. Try using a gold marker for a festive look! Cut messages into thin strips.
  5. Insert message into the half-circle.
  6. Using your forefinger in one end of the half-circle, and your thumb in the other, bend the half-circle into a fortune cookie. Secure the ends together with another glue dot.

    Cute idea and it would also make for a fun item to pass out as a Random Act of Kindness!
