How to Mail (fake) Flowers

A quick guide on how to mail your significant other flowers where ever they may be. The flowers involved are paper, so no agriculture laws are transgressed, and they can be mailed flat. This batch was prepped by me and assembled thousands of miles away in Montreal

Disclaimer: I cannot do origami, so the flowers are very simple. I'm almost certain you can do better.

Step 1 Materials and design

You'll need:
-coloured paper (I used foil from mint aero chocolate for leaves. It's shiny and the flowers smell like mint chocolate. you know the old chesnut about flowers or candy? here is kind of a solution that fails on two levels while meeting both criteria. how romantic!)
-green pipe cleaners
-a metal washer
-scissors
-a letter envelope and a business size envelope

first, what do you want the flowers to look like? what colours will they be? I choose yellow and blue, and my two varieties are pictured below.

cool,you should post a print-out with the directions so people can just print them and mail it with the flowers.

could do. the original instructions were hand-drawn. and I seriously recommend looking at the other various paper flowers on here. some of them are pretty spectacular.
