Cootie Catcher…

July 3, 2009, by {Jen}

I saw this idea a few years back on Martha Stewart and have created a few different ones that have had various themes. Lots of fun to make…be ready to time travel to your youth while creating these! When viewing this pic, just pretend that there are nuts inside the little compartments…

I used the new stamp set from The Cat’s Pajamas, Happy Camper and paired it with Mr. Campy paper from Cosmo Cricket. This project is fun to customize to any theme. They make great table toppers for baby and bridal showers. I think when I saw them on the Martha site that she had put sprinkles and such in them for an ice cream sundae party…cute, right!?!

    I remember these. We called them fortune tellers but your version is very sophisticated and upscale! What a fun project.

    I saw these on her site too. Yours are WAY cuter. Love this idea for the nuts. My ENTIRE family is camping in a few weeks and we are all “NUTS” so this would make a cute picnic table topper. TFS!

    Is the template on her site or is that something you could share. I think these are just adorable and would be perfect for a baby sprinkle (2nd child) that I will be doing soon.
