If you’re using a piece of rectangular paper, you can cut it into a square. Fold one corner over to the adjacent side. Use scissors to cut off the small rectangle. What remains is a square-shaped piece of paper.
Make sure you’re always folding in the same direction or else your fortune teller won’t form correctly.
If the paper doesn’t stay in place when you press it with your fingernail, then use the edge of a spoon or knife.
Each of the smaller triangles will be on half of a larger triangle. If you want to separate them, draw a line along the crease between them.
Draw a line along the creases if you want to tell your fortunes apart easily.
If you don’t have colored markers, you can write the name of the color on the squares instead.
Be careful while you’re folding the fortune teller up since it could crease or rip in the wrong place.
For example, if you chose the color red, you’d say “R” and open the fortune teller one direction. Then, you’d say “E” and open it the other way. Finally, you’d say “D” and open it in the other direction one more time.
If you picked an even number, the fortune teller will end in the same position. If you picked an odd number, you’ll see new numbers to choose from.
Keep playing the fortune teller until you reveal all of the fortunes.
