On the Write Track


Whether or not you believe the "fortune" that you get
inside a fortune cookie, opening it is such a fun
way to end a Chinese meal.

I've accumulated quite a collection, and while
this doesn't make me rich in monetary terms, it has
sparked a few ideas to share my unique "fortune".

Tada! The plainest of pencils go from blah to Tada!
Simply attach the "fortune" onto the pencil with Mod Podge
{white glue works, too}.

Share the pencils with a child or co-worker.
It may just hold the answers he or she is looking for!

  3. What a cute idea! I usually throw my fortunes in my purse, and find them when I'm waiting at the mall or coffee shop for people. I never thought of putting them on pencils before!

  7. Hi Gabi! I tried to cover the label of the pencil with the fortune & close to the eraser. :) The beauty of this project -- you can put it on the pencil anyway you want {ex. like a "flag" or winding it around the body of the pencil}. Have fun!
