A friend of mine is going to be a (dead?)bride for Halloween. So I made her these:

Luckily, there won't be any rain tonight, so the roses won't be damaged outside.

I used some white computer paper, green origami paper, wire and lots of superglue. I recently bought some origami paper for these roses at a store called "Morning Glory" in Princeton, NJ. And lucky me! The paper came with Korean directions to make them a lot faster than I used to be able to. These used to take me a half hour each to make. Now I can make about 4 in that time. Definitely sweet.

The green part of the roses is a separate piece that I glued on, it's another kind of origami flower which I don't have directions for, but you could probably find it online very easily. It is 1/4 the original size of the paper for the rose

I also made this for a friend who will be moving to Florida within the next week:

There was also a link to make roses out of crepe paper, or tissue paper:

They take time and practice to make correctly if you are not experienced with origami, so good luck! Post your results too, I'd love to see. ^_-
