DIVINATION CLUB: Term XXII, Activity 3 - Origami Fortune Tellers

[anbyrobanby.livejournal.com]

You're having a walk after lunch, and you spot a couple of your classmates at the foot of the steps. You step near them and hear the two girls chuckling over a folded sheet of parchment. You've seen them sit together before, and you know they're both from Muggle backgrounds. They're probably just indulging in something they used to do when they were younger, or reflecting on an old bit of shared culture. However, it's now that the one spots you and asks you- between giggles, of course- to ask them a question. They want to tell you your fortune.

Activity: Origami Forunte Tellers
Points: Participation Only - 10 points.
Deadline: 11.59pm UTC, February 20th 2012

Details: We're going to indulge in a spot of nostalgia. Create a paper origami fortune teller (instructions provided), and submit a picture of it. Although it won't score extra points, participants are free to try them out on one other!

For this activity, you're going to be making origami fortune tellers. You may have played with these at school- sometimes they were called Cootie Catchers, or Whirlybirds.

I want you to make one.

You begin with a square of paper or card. Here's a video showing you the folds.

Then, just fill out the flaps and boxes with whatever you wish, hide the destiny results under the tabs, and you're done.

There are two ways to score participation in this:

1) Submit a photograph of the one you made (preferred)
2) Submit a graphic showing your unfolded, finished work (perhaps better if you don't have a camera handy). If you are going to do an unfolded image, just upload it as you would any other image. However, please include something that lets me know this is deffo a HiH thing, rather than something lifted from the web. That something could be part of the origami design, one of the options, or even just a little HiH mark down in the corner.

And.... just as an extra bit of fun: When you've made your cootie catcher, why not try them out on each other! It won't count for points, but you can try them out in comment threads. Tell each others' destinies, and share how you used to play it! And if you haven't ever done these before, now's a great time to learn! Such is the fun of nostalgia trips!

That's it!

I've never been able to do these, unfortunately :( I've tried with 3 pieces of paper. Oh well, next time!

My cootie-catcher is open for business answering yes or no questions! And wow did this take me back to fourth grade.

Oops, this was meant to say: I want to try it!

[pinksonia.livejournal.com]

Okay then! Concentrate on your question and pick Harry, Hermione, Ginny or Ron to start off.

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Hermione!

[pinksonia.livejournal.com]

Okay! Red, Blue, Yellow, or Green?

[slumber.livejournal.com]

Last step: 1, 2, 3, or 4?

The great cootie-catcher says "Try again later."

I was a pro at these in primary school ;P We always called them chatter boxes.
I still remember how to make them, didn't even need to watch the video!

I was mystified by these when I was in first grade, and thought of the boy who always had one in his pocket as a sorcerer. He taught me his arcane art, and so I too could manufacture fortunes. Mostly I just wrote awful things in it that made absolutely no sense-- these results, were they legible, make sense, but are still awful. :D
Should anyone want to have me reveal their assuredly sordid fate, I can clarify what it reads lol.

I make tiny versions of these (roughly the size of a quarter) in train stations/government buildings/other places I have to wait for obscenely long times. I then make little notes in them and leave them around for people to find. :3
