2. Write four different colors on the flaps like I did. You can choose any colors you want.
3. Now turn over the square to the side with the triangle flaps. Write the numbers one through eight as shown.
4. Now open the triangle flaps and draw a linetheough the crease that divides the triangles in two like in the image.
5. Now you can write the fortunes or lucks, either bad or good on the triangles. Take a look at my cootiecatcher fortunes for an example.
