Chinese Cookie Tutorial

On my last post I featured these little paper Chinese Cookies that I made for a tablescape.


Some of you asked how to do them and some said they were already going to try them. I thought I'd share how I did mine.

I did several in two designs.

Use squares of paper used for scrap booking.

I used the white dish to trace 4 circles, one at each corner and the smaller coaster to trace a center circle. I got 5 circles from one sheet.

I got the idea from Pam @http://diydesignfanatic.blogspot.com/2011/01/all-you-need-is-love.html. She linked to a good tutorial that is very specific @http://makemerryevents.com/2010/02/valentines-day-paper-fortune-cookies/

You have to use a little tacky glue or hot glue to make them stick together where you fold them.

I held them together with a paper clip so I could do more than one at a time till they dried.

While they were drying I typed some messages and printed them out.

I hope this wasn't too confusing. Go to the second site I listed and get better instructions.

Have a great weekend!
