Supplies:
- 12 x 18-inch sheet of foam paper — 3mm or 5mm thickness
- Large Tyvek envelope
- Brad fasteners
Instructions:
Step 1
Trace and cut out round circles from your foam paper.
Step 2
Using a Tyvek envelope, cut a 2 x 13.5-inch strip or a 2 x 11-inch strip . Tyvek is recommended because it's plastic and won't rip or tear during shipping. Plus there's a sticky tab area on the end to help secure it inside the cookie.
Step 3
Attach two, $1 stamps to the left-hand side of each message strip. To avoid ink smearing on the plastic paper, write your mailing address and message with a permanent pen.
Step 4
Poke a brad fastener through the foam paper circle, 1/4 of the distance from the right side.
Peel the sticky tab off the Tyvek strip and attach your custom fortune cookie message to the right side of the foam circle, covering the brad.
Step 5
Fold the foam circle in half, like a taco.
Step 6
Grab the top and bottom folded edges with your fingers and crease in the middle, forming the fortune cookie.
Push the brad fastener through the other side of the foam paper and spread apart to keep the fortune cookie shape in place.
Step 7
Poke another brad fastener through the back edges of the foam paper to keep it securely closed.
