The hand-out provides six pages of step-by-step instructions and tips, with numerous illustrations & diagrams by Emery Kennett. As you might hope, the pages are held together with a teeny butterfly clip covered in Japanese paper.

Last, but definitely not least, the kit includes a little glassine envelope brimming with enough vintage postage to mail your five freshly folded envelopes!
