Introduction: Fortune Teller

How to make a basic paper fortune teller.

Step 1: Materials

  • Paper
  • 3-4 different colored markers
  • Pen
  • Scissors

Step 2:

Fold one corner so it lines up with the side of the paper.

Step 3:

Cut off the rectangle on the right with a pair of scissors.

Step 4:

You will end up with this square piece of paper.

Step 5:

Fold the square piece of paper in half.

Step 6:

Open the square piece of paper then fold it in half the other way.

Step 7:

Open the paper and lay it flat; step 5 and step 6 should have made the folds where the arrow are pointing.

Step 8:

Fold one corner into the middle of the paper.

Step 9:

Fold the other three corners into the middle and it should end up looking like this.

Step 10:

Flip the piece of paper over.

Step 11:

Fold one corner into the middle of the paper.

Step 12:

Fold the other three corners into the middle and it should end up looking like this.

Step 13:

You can now label each of the eight sections whatever you want; I just used numbers.

Step 14:

Inside of each corner you can put two things that you want your fortune teller to tell you. For example, I wanted my fortune teller to tell me which animal I act like the most. So I put eight different animals inside the corners.

Step 15:

Flip the paper over and you can use four different colors to put on each flap.

Step 16:

Fold the paper in half so the colored portion is outside.

Step 17:

Open the paper then fold it in half the other way so the colored portion is still outside.

Step 18:

This is what your finished fortune teller should look like.
