How fun would these Fortune Cookies be for your New Year's Eve celebrations? You can use the 2014 piece that comes with the file or you can print or write your own insert! The finished project is approximately 3-1/2" x 1-3/4" x 2-1/2" but can be sized to be smaller or larger and this file is compatible with both the 12x12 and 8x12 mats!
Here is the tutorial:
1. Cut out the pieces and assemble the 2014 banner in the center of the larger mat.
2. Bend the circle in half using the guidelines at each end of the circle. Place a small bit of adhesive on the circle tips to hold it closed as shown.
3. Insert your banner/message.
4. This part is a little tricky…there are score lines on the inside (bended) area of the circle…push that area in and bend the sides around. The area that you placed adhesive on will fold down as you bend inward.
5. Pinch the back (folded) area to set the shape.
6. Your fortune cookie will look like this now!
I love-love this new file and have a feeling I am going to be using it lots!
These are paper sequins and this file has four sizes: 3", 2-1/2", 2", and 1". You can make these sized to fit your needs though I wouldn't go much smaller than 3/4" as it become hard to bend on the score lines. I cut mine on glittered paper to give them that extra shimmer but I love the idea of being able to create pattern papered sequins and how amazing would these be larger hanging in strings for party decor! Oh yes, the possibilities are endless! Can you tell I am excited!?
Each one has score marks built into the file, all you have to do is bend them slightly down (or up for a different look!) around the center hexagon then pinch the side lines a bit. Super easy and so much fun!
I'd love to see what you make with these!

These straw sliders work perfectly on standard straws as well as paper straws…you could even use these on pixie sticks candies or pencils which makes them great for party favors or drinking cup markers! We even used the snowflake ones on straws in mugs filled with candies as gifts! These are all compatible with the 8x12 and 12x12 mats and they assemble very quickly making them great for bulk creations!
Now that Christmas has passed, I have a few New Year's cards to share!
Do you create New Year cards?
And of course, have a safe and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
