Are you looking for a no sew project that you can complete quickly using scraps of leftover fabric? Try making fabric fortune cookies! I realize that this is completely random but after seeing a tutorial for these on a German blog, Frau Liebe, I had to google the idea to see if I could find English instructions. This photo below is a completed cookie by blogger Brassy Apple, her tutorial is linked below. Darling!
This is a fun project to do when you are in need of something quick, but if you have more time you can certainly stitch them closed versus using glue and bonding tape. Below you can find links to cookies you can sew and the no-sew version. There is also a link to making fabric Glückskekse in German. Imagine making red and pink cookies with little love notes inside?
English – sew (via Brassy Apply)
English – no sew (via Michael’s)
German – sew (via Frau Liebe)
Fun!

This would be so cute for sending a secret message to friends at the office…it would be a lot easier if I worked in an office, but something to keep in mind for the future! Thanks for sharing!

What a cute idea! I can’t sew for the life of me, so I’d need the no-sew version, but I bet these are fun to make.

I also saw these on Martha Stewart’s site, but it was made with felt. I made some, but now I want to try it with cotton fabric!

I sent the Martha Stewart felt version to school today with my son for his teachers. He wrote his own little note and we packaged them in take out containers from our local Chinese restaurant!
