I will be
featuring some, what I think are great, Valentine ideas. My thought behind this
is that we can make a fabulous Valentine’s Day for our significant other and
our children without spending a fortune. If you have something you feel fits
into this category, please feel free to send it along to me. I would love to
feature you!
To start
this series off, here is an oldie but goodie from Martha Stewart:

Felt Fortune Cookie How-To
1. Using fabric shears, cut a 4 1/2-inch-diameter circle from a piece of felt.
Cut a piece of matching ribbon slightly shorter than 4 1/2 inches.
Using wire cutters, cut a piece of floral wire slightly shorter than the length of ribbon.

2. Using
craft glue, affix the wire to the middle of the felt circle. Glue ribbon on
top, covering the wire. Let dry 30 minutes.
3. Fold the
felt circle in half, using the wire as a guide, so ribbon is inside cookie.
Next, angle the sides toward each other, bending the wire at its halfway point
and forming a fortune-cookie shape, as shown.
4. Assemble
the fortune cookies. Carefully peel back one flap of the felt cookie, and
insert a paper fortune and a few candies. Fold the flap back over to close
cookie around contents.
