Fortune Teller Party Banner

Do you remember the paper fortune tellers that we used to make as kids? Pick a color, spell it. Then pick a number and count it out. Ending with a final number pick that revealed the fortune of who you liked, who liked you or some other random thing your friends came up with.

I'm going to be honest. I was never coordinated enough to fold them as a kid. I could never cut the paper into a perfect square, so the folds would over lap, and I would get frustrated and give up. As an adult, I finally learned how to make them by watching this video.

Why did I learn to do this as an adult, you ask? So that I could make the birthday banner for Kenzie's 90's birthday party, of course. That's right folks, it's Thursday, and as I promised I am about to share with you the weekly 90's party DIY idea.

What you will need
8x8-inch colored printer paper
hole puncher
yarn

Directions

1. Fold your paper into fortunes using the video link above. The number of fortunes you use will depend on the length of your banner. 
2. Using the hole puncher, punch holes into the inside center of each fortune teller. 
3. Thread 8-inch lengths if yarn through the holes and tie at the top so that your fortunes will dangle off of the base string. 
4. Determine where you want to hang your banner. Drape a strand of yarn across the area so that you know how long to cut it. 
5. Tie the fortune tellers onto the base strand of yarn.

Voila! Easy 90's banner for your party. 

I made too many paper fortunes. We used some of the extras to decorate around the candy jars on the table. The girls also wrote on them and turned it into a truth or dare game for their slumber party. Get creative and let me know how it goes. 

Thanks for stopping by.
