A fortune teller (also called a cootie catcher,〔.〕〔.〕 chatterbox,〔.〕 salt cellar,〔.〕〔 or whirlybird〔) is a form of origami used in children's games. Parts of the fortune teller are labelled with colours or numbers that serve as options for a player to choose from, and on the inside are eight flaps, each concealing a message. The person operating the fortune teller manipulates the device based on the choices made by the player, and finally one of the hidden messages is revealed. These messages may purport to answer questions (hence the name) or they may be activities that the player must perform. ==Construction== A paper fortune teller may be constructed by the steps shown in the illustration below:〔〔.〕 # The corners of a sheet of paper are folded up to meet the opposite sides and (if the paper is not already square) the top is cut off, making a square sheet with diagonal creases. # The four corners of the square are folded into the center, forming a shape known in origami terminology as a blintz base or cushion fold.〔 The resulting smaller square is turned over, and the four corners are folded in a second time. # All four corners are folded up so that the points meet in the middle, and the player works their fingers into the pockets of paper in each of the four corners. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paper fortune teller」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
