Then fold each corner into the centre point.<\/li>\r\n<li>Turn the card over, then fold each corner into the centre point again.<\/li>\r\n<li>Fold it in half to make a rectangle, then put a finger\/thumb in each of the pockets and open it into a fortune teller.<\/li>\r\n<li>Use a white deco pen to draw three small circles onto the upper two sections of the fortune teller. Then, once that ink has dried, draw a small black circle into each of the white circles to make the monster's eyes.<\/li>\r\n<li>Cut out two arm and two leg shapes from a sheet of yellow card, and use double sided tape to stick them to the fortune teller.<\/li>\r\n<li>Use the same technique to create the spider, with purple card and black legs, and the pumpkin, with orange card and a green stalk.<\/li>\r\n<li>Use a white deco pen to draw three small circles onto the upper two sections of the fortune teller.
