Since you are SELLING these instructions, you should put AD in front of your subject line.

I don't mean to sound harsh, and maybe I am just too practical but what is the point of those flowers?? I mean, they are very pretty, but beyond that - what would you do with them once you made them? They aren't jewelry - not really, so I wouldn't wear them as a bracelet. What do you do with them once you've made them???

They are gorgeous flowers. Sterling, you can use them as a bouquet in a bowl, on a brooch, any type of decoration for a holiday based on the season (like a door decoration) ... or like I did for my birth daughter's wedding. I made sprays of small white flowers to go behind the grooms and all the mens boutonieres (sp) and also small sprays of flowers matching the bridesmaids dresses that went into the bride's bouquet.

The possibilities are endless... but so is the dusting of them. lol
