Fortune Cookie Gift Pockets
Cream Colored Felt
Craft Glue
Chinese Take Out Box
Ribbon
Chinese Token or trinket for decoration
Scissors
This project came to me whilst I was preparing gifts for my friends for Christmas.
I filled my Felt fortune cookies with earrings but you could fill them with any sort of small item, or even a written token of love or similar.
Start by cutting your circle out for your fortune cookie. My circle was about 2 inch (5 cm) in size. But your cookie can be as big or small as you need it to be.
Run a bead of glue around the edge of the circle and press it into half, leaving the ends open.
Put your item inside the open ends and close it up.
Place your finger into the middle and bend the cookie around your finger giving it the traditional fortune cookie shape.
To finish the cookies place them into a Chinese take away box and decorate it up.
I placed a small tag on my box that said:
Confucius Say
Gifts from Friends
are worth a Fortune

This is such a great idea and gift - thanks for sharing!
This is so cool! I'm going to make it for my friend!
I love this idea! Simple & easy to make!
great it will be perfect to be a gift for my parents wedding
I think it's a good idea and very cute! Many times I'll usually comment & "rate a gift" if it's something that I WOULD LIKE to receive. Perhaps, though,that's not a good idea because what I like, doesn't necessarily mean a friend will like it!
What a great idea! I'm going to make some of these for Xmas or great for an engagement ring,
and fill the rest with candy or chocolates. r.b.
Excellent! I love this. I usually give my kids some cash so this will be a great way to "package" it!
Very imaginative, good use of craft items.
Got to try this and thanks for the pix!!
Love it!
this ia a great idea.. much appreciated.. thank you.. lyn
The adhesive makes the cookie retain it's shape once dried.
how do you get the felt to stay in the fortune cookie shape after you close it?!
What a great gift presentation!
this looks rael cool im gonna make ones for my sis and mum
this is genius...my christmas shopping's done!!
This is soooo cute!!
AWESOME!!! I cannot wait to make it..and suprise my friends!!
My three girls will love these! Thanks for a great idea for last minute, simple birthday gifts!
My circle was 5cm , 2 inch in size
How big of a circle do you use typically?
that is a really cool idea. i will definatily try this!!!
that would distroy the cookie. ive seen versions where you sew it, put a stich to make it fold, but leave a space open where the cookie stays intact and you can get the item out. ive made this version and there seems to be no size issue.

You just rip open the glue edges, very simple
