⭐️ NEW! Make a Paper Fortune Teller with Courtney Cerruti!
In this class, artist, author, and paper lover Courtney Cerruti (@ccerruti ) shows you how to transform a simple square of paper into a classic three-dimensional paper toy from childhood. Often called a fortune teller, chatterbox, or cootie catcher, this playful paper game folds flat so it can be tucked into a pocket, lunchbox, or purse—ready to spring to life at a moment’s notice. Courtney teaches you how to fold a fortune teller at any size, then shares some of her favorite ways to decorate and personalize it. As fun to make as it is to play with, this timeless paper toy invites creativity and joy for makers of all ages.

Spark and sustain your creative practice all month long with Courtney Cerruti.
When you are a creative person but you feel like you can’t access that part of yourself, how do you re-engage with your creativity and keep it going? At one time or another all of us experience lulls in our creativity, and reconnecting when you feel blocked can be challenging. Artist, author and Creativebug Editor-in-Chief, Courtney Cerruti, is here to share her tried and true approaches to reigniting your creativity.
Start with small steps: make space for new experiences, embrace playful practices, and engage with inspiring books and people. Courtney’s prompts overlap and spill into each other—take them as they are or adapt them to fit your style, slowly building into a fully fueled fire of artistic thought and action. Remember that creativity is a journey, and each person’s path to reconnection is unique.
This 15-day practice will release every other day this month.
