Cute cookies, too good to keep to myself!
Ok, so this is one of the 25 projects I’ve talked about and I wasn’t planning on showing it. But honestly they are too cute and it’s a great idea and you might want to use it for Valentine’s day.
So I was standing at the checkout looking at magazines and decided to open up Martha, and the first thing I see are these felt fortune cookies! They were so adorable and I had some ideas so I bought the magazine so I could make these.
I made some as they were intended in the magazine, red and pink for Valentine’s day:
And then I decided to play around with them and make wedding favors!
If you would like to make them, they are really simple. I made a circle template using the largest circle in my coluzzle cutter, approximately 4 1/2 inches. Then I traced around the template on the felt, and I could get 4 circles out of one piece of felt. Once they are cut out you put down some tacky double sided tape and then a strip of floral wire and then covered with coordinating ribbon. Then you just cut out 4 1/2 x 1/2 inch strips of paper and make your fortunes!
The cost for these as wedding favors would be about 50 cents or less, making them SO DANG AFFORDABLE FOR A WEDDING! I believe that Sean and I paid $5 (probably more) per person for cookies and a candle at our wedding.
I hope you enjoyed these cookies. Sean really liked them and he is getting some on the 14th! I have a lot of things I need to get done over the next day and a half so I may not post anything until Monday. But from then on you’ll have plenty to look at!
Enjoy your weekend!

I subscribe to Martha Stewart (used for a few years then stopped because too expensive and just found a great deal over the net! :-)). The February issue was really good, I loved the decorated boxes for jewelry!! Awesome!
I think the white ones look like chinese wontons!
Cute!♥
Very cool idea!
What a cute idea. I love how simple and adorable these are. They definitely would catch my attention at a wedding! Congratulations on being a guest designer for Gina K.!
WOW — what a FANTASTIC idea — just so adorable.
