  • Origami Fortune Teller

    If anyone saw TV Burp this week, Harry Hill made that little game out of a wrap we used to play with numbers and colours on which we put on our fingers and lifted the flaps to reveal a pearl of wisdom! ( I hope that description is clear enough!)
    Was there a name for it anyone remember?

      Yes that sounds like the same thing I'm thinking of. It had 4 sections that fitted over your 2 index fingers and 2 thumbs, then you asked someone to pick a number then a colour and then lifted a flap accordingly with their fortune written there.

            My little girl does, she bought one home from school a few months ago bought memories flooding back and I sat making them for her, thats how I instantly knew what you were describing.

                      We made one the other week while doing a pub quiz. Mine turned out wrong as i'd got the folds confused with those for the paper waterbomb.

                          I think we boys were more into hexa-hexa-flexagons, with six or more coloured faces folded into one another...

                            Don't know what these were called really, but I remember making them at school. Maybe a fun way telling someone they smell or you fancy them. Possibly best described as a piece of Origami that opened up to reval hidden messages. Anyone know what these were called - the names from the Wikipedia entry, (cootie catcher, scrunchie, chancer) don't really ring any bells.
