Make your flowers and look up what the meaning is for your flower and add a tag that tells the receiver of the flower what is in your heart. This is a good way to let loved ones know your true feelings or maybe even someone that you would like to make amends with and give them a nice surprise by sending them something you have made, make some crepe paper flowers and send a message.
