FORTUNE TELLER
of those origami that people know of but may not know the name. We've received many emails asking us about this origami toy where "you could insert your fingers and move the corners."
"Ask a question and you would open and close the corners to reveal an answer. "
"Like an origami Magic 8 ball."
Well, look no further and wonder no more. It's called the Origami Fortune Teller, sometimes also called Origami Chooser or Origami Salt Cellar or Origami Cootie Catcher....or the Origami Magic 8 Ball...
Check out our video showing how to use the origami fortune teller. Then see our folding instructions below:
Origami Fortune Teller Step 1: Start with a 6 inch square origami paper color side down.
Origami Fortune Teller Step 2: Make 2 folds, one along the horizontal axis and one along the vertical axis, following the dotted lines shown in the photo below.
Crease well and unfold.
Origami Fortune Teller Step 3: Make another 2 folds, this time along the diagonal axis. Crease well and unfold.
Origami Fortune Teller Step 4: Starting with the bottom right side, fold the paper to meet the center point.
Origami Fortune Teller Step 5: Repeat for the other 3 corners.
Origami Fortune Teller Step 6: Flip paper over.
Now this is where you actually write in the fortunes. You need to write in a fortune for each of the 8 quadrants. I've written 2 in the picture below asexamples.
Origami Fortune Teller Step 7: Fold the bottom tip to meet the center point.
Origami Fortune Teller Step 8: Repeat for the other 3 corners.
You need some sort of ID for these sections. We used to write down numbers but you can use other IDs like color, etc.
Origami Fortune Teller Step 9: Flip paper over.
Origami Fortune Teller Step 10: Now start to pry open the paper with your fingers. You need to create room for your thumb and index fingers to hold up this origami fortune teller.
Origami Fortune Teller Step 11: Flip paper over and your origami fortune telleris complete!

Take the Top Off
Score a smallish hole at the top of the apple.
Use a smaller knife than the one I've pictured, if you can.
Carve a conical section out, so that you can remove the top.

Scoop it Out
Use a combination of a small knife and a spoon to
scoop out the interior of the apple.
Spoon the meat of the apple into a bowl, separating out the not-so-delicious seeds and sharp bits of the core.
Be careful not to make the walls of the apple too thin- they are your structural support!
You might find a grapefruit spoon helpful. I didn't have one, but wished I had.

Spice the Filling
<!--[endif]-->Add your favorite spices to the scooped-out meat of
the apple.Traditionally, I use a mix of flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and lemon juice. Maybe some honey, if your apple isn't already sweet.
Here in my dorm room, I used chai tea & spices, to pretty decent effect.
Mix it all up.
Stuff Apple
Spoon your delicious spiced apple chunks back into the
apple. You might have to cram them in a little.
Espresso
"Pie Crust"
Put ~1C flour in a bowl.
Open up about six single-serving packets of Promise or some other too-soft-not-actually-butter and cut them into the flour.
Add some sugar and salt- maybe 1/8C sugar, a pinch of salt?
Add about two tablespoons of espresso.
Mix with water until something resembling the right texture (but softer than normal) is achieved.
Top apple with crust. Cut ends to be even, and press them into a defined shape at the bottom.
Like a hat. Sorry, couldn't resist the mustache picture.

Bake
This will depend on the size of your apple, and
probably somewhat on your oven.
For mine, 350F for 30 minutes was perfect.
I think you know it's done when the apple begins to split and sizzle at the base.

ORIGAMI POLAR BEAR
1: Start off with a square 6" x 6" (15cm x 15cm) origami paper. I used an origami paper which was white on both sides.
Origami Polar Bear Step 2: Now fold in half on each side so that you get 2 intersecting creases.
Origami Polar Bear Step 3: Now, bring the top left hand corner down to the bottom right hand corner to make a triangle.
Origami Polar Bear Step 4: Now fold the right side over to meet the center crease.
Origami Polar Bear Step 5: Now you will make a squash fold. Open up the flap and press it down. Notice the squash fold is not symmetrical. It angles to one side.
Origami Polar Bear Step 6: We need to make an inside reverse fold which means making a mountain fold on the dash line shown on each side of the paper.
Flip the paper over and make a mountain fold on the dash line.
Origami Polar Bear Step 7: Flip the paper over. Open the paper slightly and press the tip in between the 2 sides. Press the paper closed. This is the origami inside reverse fold.
Origami Polar Bear Step 8: and you're done! Your origami polar bear is completed!
From reader in Austin "The sample picture in the Polar Bear instructions looks weird...as if the polar bear was awkwardly hunched over...so this is myinterpretation of the bear...But thanks for the instructions! It was clear and understandable, and the pictures of how to make it really does help, and I'm sure the kids where I volunteer at will love making this!"
Reader - Now that you mention it, the polar bear above does look hunched over. Thanks for making it better!
From Michael in Centerville " I made mine like the reader from austins design. This design is really great. "
