Free Printable Fortune Teller & Magic Spinner

January 22, 2026 1 Comment Adult Birthdays

A celestial-themed party already feels magical, but adding interactive party favors like fortune tellers and decision spinners brings that “written in the stars” vibe straight to your guests’ hands. After a special request for the designs from my Celestial Themed 40th Birthday Bash, these printable favors are now available as free downloads for your next moon-and-stars celebration.

Celestial party favors as free printables

During my 40th birthday party, the celestial theme was all about the moon, stars, and the future, so it only felt right to create favors that helped guests “discover” what might be ahead. The fortune teller (a classic cootie catcher from the 90s) and the celestial decision spinner both doubled as decor, activities, and take-home gifts.

These printables were originally designed for the Celestial Themed 40th Birthday Bash, so if you’d like to see how they looked in action on the tables and favor displays, you can visit the original post here: Celestial Themed 40th Birthday Bash on A Well Crafted Party. The same designs will work beautifully for a 40th birthday, New Year’s Eve, celestial wedding, or even a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star birthday for little ones.

How to use these free celestial printables

Once downloaded, you can print the fortune teller and spinner at home or through a local print shop, depending on how many guests you’re hosting and how polished you’d like them to look. For a sturdy, party-ready feel, print both designs on a white glossy paper. A heavier weight coverstock would be best for the Magic Spinner fortune teller, I used a 14 pt. cardstock. For the fortune teller I used a 100 lb weight paper.

These celestial printables are for personal use only and are meant as a free resource to help you celebrate well without adding extra design work to your plate. Please do not resell, redistribute, or host the files elsewhere; instead, link back to the printable post or tag @jennibost when sharing.

Printing and folding the 10×10 celestial fortune teller

The fortune teller is designed as a 10×10 inch square so it has enough space for starry details and clear, easy-to-read fortunes. Printing it at the intended size keeps the folds crisp but still large enough for adults and kids alike to use comfortably at a party.

10X10 Fortune Teller:

Click to download the 10X10 Fortune Teller PDF free fortune teller printable. Save the file to your printer and print on a large-format home printer or through an online or local printer.
To print at 10X10 size: Most home printers won’t print at the 10×10 size. Mine doesn’t! I ordered my prints from Uprinting.com but any local printer would be able to print these at actual 10X10 size. You can print single sided if you want a white background or print double sided to have the celestial print on the other side. My print order: Size: 10″ x 10″, Paper Type: 100 lb. Paper Gloss, Folding: None, Printed Side: Front and Back, Bundling: None
If you do have a large format printer then print actual size on a glossy 11X17 cardstock*.

8X8 Fortune Teller:

Click to download the 8X8 Fortune Teller PDF free fortune teller printable. Save the file to your printer and print on your home printer or
To print at 8X8 size: Print at actual side and double sided on 8.5X11 glossy paper*. You may have to adjust your printer settings to get the image to line up. You can print single sided if you want a white background or print double sided to have the celestial print on the other side.

To fold the fortune teller (cootie catcher):

Start with the printed square facing design-side down on a flat surface.
Fold each corner into the center so all four points meet in the middle, creating a smaller square, then crease each fold firmly with your fingernail or a bone folder*. (I highly recommend a bone folder to keep the print looking good!)
Flip the paper over so the folded flaps are now face down, and again fold each corner into the center, forming an even smaller square.
With the folded side up, fold the square in half horizontally, crease well, then unfold and fold in half vertically, creasing again.
Slip your thumbs and index fingers under the four inner flaps from the underside and gently push inward to pop the fortune teller into shape, adjusting the creases so it opens and closes smoothly.

Printing and assembling the 7×9 celestial decision spinner

The celestial decision wheel spinner is designed at 7×9 inches so it can sit nicely on a plate, favor table, or bar as both decor and an interactive activity. Guests can ask the spinner a question and spin to “see” what the stars suggest they do next—whether that’s dance, grab dessert, or snap a photo!

To print the 7×9 celestial spinner (celestial decision wheel):

Download the Free Celestial Fortune Teller Spinner PDF and save to your computer
Print on 14 pt glossy cardstock* to keep the spinner sturdy as guests use it.
In your printer dialog, choose “Actual Size” so the spinner remains at 7×9 inches, and avoid “Fit to Page” to prevent distortion.
Allow the ink to dry fully before cutting so dark blues and blacks don’t smudge over the stars and text.

To assemble the spinner:

Carefully cut out the spinner shape along the outer border lines with scissors or a craft knife and cutting mat.
Using a small hole punch, awl, or sharp craft tool, create a small hole in the exact center of the middle star on the spinner design.
Attach a ready-made plastic or metal spinner arrow* through the center hole, following the hardware instructions (often a small brad or screw-style fastener).
If using a brad, place the arrow on top, insert the brad through the arrow and the center hole, then spread the brad prongs flat on the back so the arrow can spin freely without wobbling.

For best results, test the spinner before the party to make sure the arrow glides smoothly around the circle and clearly points to each celestial prompt or decision.

Bringing the celestial theme together

At the original party, the fortune tellers and spinners joined glowing moon lights*, strands of star fairy lights*, and personalized star ornaments to create layered, starry table settings. You can pair these printables with other celestial touches—like metallic star garlands, dark blue linens, or twinkle lights—to create a cohesive look without overwhelming your decor.

To see how the fortune tellers and spinners fit into the full event, including decor, favors, and entertainment, head over to the Celestial Themed Party post and use it as a blueprint for your own moon-and-stars celebration. Whether you are planning a milestone birthday, New Year’s Eve party, or cosmic-inspired wedding, these free printables are ready to help your guests feel like fortune really does favor them.

Holiday Survival Kit Party Favors + Free Printable

December 10, 2018 1 Comment Christmas

There are so many fun options for holiday party favors… ornaments, sugar cookies, chocolates, stocking stuffers, etc. I wanted to do something a tad different for this holiday party. For this party, I wanted to share a holiday survival gift as a party favor! But, then I was stumped… what should I put in a holiday survival kit!?

This is the tenth post of my 12 Days of Christmas DIYs for 2018. Each day for the next twelve days I share DIY projects, recipes, entertainment, and more, that you can incorporate into your holiday season.

Holiday Survival Kit Party Favors from A Well Crafted Party — Party Favors!

I had so much fun researching ideas for a holiday survival kit. Many friends were texted, my husband was quizzed, and Pinterest was searched! I didn’t want it to be stuff like a penny or a piece of tape though, I wanted it to be USEFUL, funny, and… most of all, I wanted it to make sense!

The great thing about creating a holiday survival gift party favor is that you can create your own with any items that you feel would help get your guests through the holiday season. But, because it is helpful to have a guide… here is what I built my kit with:

Everyone needs tape at Christmas, right?

Popcorn box — I gave my favor in cute little popcorn boxes, but simple muslin or cellophane bags would have done the trick just as well!
Tape— “To remind you to stick to your list.” Also, just between you and me, I’m always running out of tape right before finishing my holiday wrapping!
Batteries—”For the energy to get through your 5th ugly sweater party.” Also, because you ALWAYS need batteries over the holidays!
Balance Tea— “To remind you to relax. It is only a season, after all.” Other tea bags that would be great for this is chamomile or a de-stress type tea.
Chocolate— “Because you deserve a treat!” Also… chocolate.
Lotto Ticket— “So that you have hope!”

Other survival kit ideas

Of course… AFTER I created these kits I got a few other fun ideas.

Small donations to a favorite charity to remind your guests the true meaning of the season.
Ear plugs to protect your ears from all of the screaming kids. (Good screaming though, because… Santa!!!)
Mini ice scraper because “sleet happens” (from a super creative friend of mine!)
Fillable gift certificate that can be used in case of emergency gift situations
Mini bottles of alcohol for some “holiday cheer”

Free Printable Tag for your Holiday Survival Kit from A Well Crafted Party

Holiday Survival Kit Free Printable

Because I’m me and I love a good printable I created a fun little tag to put onto my holiday survival kits. I’ve created a fillable PDF so that you can make your own as well!

Directions:

Download the free printable holiday survival kit tags and save to your computer.
Fill in the tags using your favorite PDF software (Adobe Acrobat and Google work for this) using the items you are including in your gift.
Print on white cardstock in full color.
Cut out around the outer lines. Then cut into the white lines that are next to the elf’s arms. Fold on the line. Those two little tabs that are left can be taped or set onto your gift. Don’t need them? Cut them off and hole punch through the elf’s hat to make a tag you can use with a ribbon!

Town Themed Party Favor Ideas

August 22, 2013 4 Comments A Well Crafted Party

Party favors are sometimes difficult for me– I don’t want to send home a bunch of plastic, useless items that will just create clutter and end up in a landfill. I also don’t want to spend a ton of money because parties are expensive enough without lots of extra costs from items like favors. I do love party favors though- and rarely like throwing a party without sending guests home with something.

For the little man’s town-themed party I went with edible snacks “for the road.”I got a lot if great suggestions and ideas from Twitter and Facebook however and thought I would share some of those ideas and other ideas that crossed my mind for a town-themed birthday party.
