Valentine’s Day: The one day a year you get to give someone a gift just because they are exceptional themselves. This little, felt fortune cookie valentine is a creative and different way to tell someone how great they are. Whether you need to get something for a special someone or just want to show a friend how much you care, this is a crafty way to say whatever you want.

Read on below to find out how to piece together your own fortune valentine.

Step 1: Purchase felt in seasonal colors. Think reds and pinks. I purchased my felt at Hobby Lobby for about 25 cents each.

Step 2: Trace out circles onto the felt. The size of the circle is ultimately up to you. The bigger the circle, the bigger the fortune. Then cut out the circles with a pair of scissors.

Step 3: Fold the circle in half and, with a hot glue gun, glue the top edges together. Remember to leave the sides open so you can insert your fortune.

Step 4: Cut slips of paper to insert into the felt cookie, and write a fun message on each slip.

Step 5: Carefully slide fortunes into the felt cookie. Make sure one side is left sticking out.

Step 6: Now delicately fold the felt cookie so it takes the shape of a fortune cookie. Since we are working with felt, pull the fabric until you get the desired shape. With just a little dab of hot glue, secure the fold. Now you are finished. Make as many as desired and pass out to your valentines.
