The Origami Forum

I remember watching a video a while ago which featured an Origami fortune cookie. It seemed like a simple model, with a slip of paper being held fairly well within the model itself?

Anyone know how to fold it?

I once ate soggy fortune cookies, and they just opened up instead of cracking. As far as I can recall, it was quite easily put together... But I think it was out a circle.

EDIT- Heres a nice little fortune cookie. You can tell that it is indeed from a circle.

Hey Saj, its been awhile =p.

Not sure about that particular model, but here is a diagram on folding a real fortune cookie, its pretty simple actually. I'll see if I can track down what you're talking about and edit my post.



Warning: Spoiler of ancient secrets!
I've made fortune cookies before at home, pink ones for valentines day. They're made from a mixture like pancake batter, but well oiled, and baked in a thin-ish circle. They're not cooked very long, and while still hot you fold them while inserting the slip of paper. Pretty neat, but it takes awhile just to make a few because you have to fold them fast before they harden.

Edit: I saw one through google, you just flip up the center curve after following the diagram. http://www.askginka.com/themes/images/asiant4.jpg

Thanks for the responses so far Nice to see you back Joe, how are your studies coming along?

I'm sure the fortune cookie I saw was made from a square (Of course it's possible to fold the above from the square by tucking in the corners), and I now remember that the model was featured in Michael Saunder's website.

I've watched a couple of the videos and am determined to find the model - and use it in combination with http://www.itsunfortunate.com/

Cheers!
