Fabric Fortune Cookies


 I just finished my first "batch" of fabric fortune cookies and they were so easy.  I saw it on a quilting show or magazine or something.....can't remember.   Aren't they cute?     :)


I didn't think to take pics of each step, sorry.   But I got some of it.   First you fuse two 4 inch squares of fabric together.  Then cut them into 3.5 inch circles (I traced around a glass).   

Next you fold them over and fuse the opening closed like this:


Then you put your fingers in each opening and push in the middle to look like this:


I used paper clips to hold the openings together.   Then you brush on a liberal coat of fabric stiffener.   I put a cookie cooling rack into a jelly roll pan and then set each fortune cookie upright (using the paper clip) to drain and dry overnight.  (pic below is before I painted them with the stiffener). 
Afterwards I stuffed them with the "fortunes" I found online.  Mine were quilt quotes --- of course!   :)
Fun project.
