Fortune Cookie Place Card

Hanko Designs was excited and proud to be included in the Fall 2003 issue of Martha Stewart Weddings Magazine, which featured a fun and simple way to use Hanko papers to create unique fortune cookie place cards.

In this tutorial, we will show you how to create your own fortune cookie origami.  These are wonderful for weddings or just adding an elegant touch to a dinner party.  And with so many different paper designs to choose from, you’ll be able to find a color scheme to work with your special occasion.

Hanko Designs will die cut any paper purchased into 5 1/2″ circles for making Fortune Place Cards.  Contact Us for more details.
