    I am planning on making a ton of origami flowers, so I need a lot of red and light blue paper to do this.  I have been unable to find solid colored origami paper, except in packs of assorted colors.  

    I obviously don't want to buy a ton of packs and only pick out the colors I need.

    Has anyone seen any solid colored origami paper sold in a single color pack?

    I have been unable to find anything in stores or online.

    Beccs, can you post directions for the origami flowers?  I would love to make them as a Favor topper.  Thanks for the link on the solid color paper.

    I am an origami enthusiast!  If you guys need simple or ornate origami instructions, I can try and find them for you.  I have over 10 origami flower books!  I usualy buy my paper at paperjade.

    Reilabird, I would love some instructions.  I was thinking of some type of flower but anything elegant for a wedding would be good.  Simple instructions would be best but if is elegant and beautiful I would not mind if it takes a little bit of patience and time.

    I got my flower instructions from a YouTube video!  It took a couple tries (and a lot of pausing and rewinding) but I got it down.


    This is the video I used:


    It's pretty good, just ignore the weird recorder music and the bird in the background.
