A downloadable folding instructions

These are fully-illustrated, step by step instructions on how to fold a fortune teller, otherwise known as a chatterbox, paku-paku, salt cellar, or cootie catcher. That's it. Since the folding pattern is so simple, I had a little room to touch on the history of this popular children's toy and its possible applications.

Personally, I think it has interesting potential as an oracle that gives the illusion of randomness.

 The total project is three pages long. Four, if you count the back cover.

Looking for more origami? I also made a folio about paper cranes!

great instructions, and fantastic timing as I saw this whilst making a fortune teller game. I’ve given a link to your instructions on the game’s page, I hope that’s ok: https://the-spongmonkey.itch.io/parts-rescue-station
