let's make some...



as promised here's my picture tutorial:



easy as 1, 2, 3...



you can use whatever paper you'd like. how about those old newspapers, ads, scratch paper...with newspapers, mag pages or thin paper, i mount them on circles of leftover cardboard boxes or cardstock paper. i used one of my cooking bowls. i wanted my cookies to be about 3/4"w x 3" L. i think it's just about the perfect size, like a real fortune cookie but you can use whatever size you want. all depends on how big you want your cookies.
reuse. recycle. go green...gotta love that!



i used leftover valentine chocolates but use whatever treasures you find...


{these lil' hands are my Shioban's cute lil' paws...she's a better hand model than i could ever be...lol}
now the fun part:


i made my own

take out boxes from using an old one as a template. i also had a template i bought from Michaels but i liked the pink boxes' template the best!


ENJOY!
have a LUCKY month!

Lovely! These make me to yearn for spring. Being full of colors. The open air is still cold in the morning.
