Fabric Fortune Cookies

I wanted to make a unique Thank You gift for my friends and family. I made fabric fortune cookies with personalized thank you notes inside.

For these cookies, I first printed several images from the Graphics Fairy onto printable fabric but you can use any regular medium-weight fabric. I chose images in an English Tea Party theme.

Materials needed: fusible batting, fabric (or printable fabric), soft wire, bias tape (or ribbon) and E6000 glue.

To begin, I adhered the wrong side of the fabric to the fusible batting as directed on the batting. Next, I cut the fabric into 4" circles. I used a die but you can draw a circle using a cup as a guide and cut with scissors. The circle should be 3 3/4" to 4 1/2" in diameter.

I cut the wire and white bias tape so that they were slightly shorter than the width of the circle. Next I placed the wire on the batting and then used E6000 glue to adhere the bias tape on top of the wire. Set these aside to dry flat.

While this is drying you can print out the fortune to fill each cookie. Each fortune is about 3" x 1/2". The fortune can be a thank you or rewards for little children when they complete their chores.

Next, place the "fortune" in the center on the bias tape.

Bend the "cookie" so that the wire is folded in half with the fabric towards the inside. {I don't show it here but you can hold the fortune over the bias tape as you work through the following steps}

Gently fold up each soft side (sides without wires) so that the fabric is now showing.

Adjust the sides so that they are full like a fortune cookie. You may need to push the sides out with your finger.

Just a fun, simple little project.
