I'm finished, and although they are cute, I will never make these again, lol.

Making the petals was fine, and even gluing the petals was fine, but the leaves were hell on earth, lol. I had to punch the hearts out...easy. Then I had to fold them in half...not so easy but doable. Then glue them onto the teeny tiny wire that is acting as a stem. Mission impossible. Even with the use of my tweezers, they did not want to stay in place. I tried regular white glue, clear glue, tacky glue, fast grab tacky glue...it was all awful.

Despite the problems, little Michelle is thrilled with the flowers. She even picked one for her hair :-).

The patio needed that splash of color to balance the umbrella. I'm supposed to make climbing roses next, and a window box worth of flowers. I don't know if I'll have the patience, lol. I'm going to have to get a leaf paper punch; the hearts really are too fiddly for me.
I liked the petunias better when they were standing straight up, as in the above photo, rather than bending them so I'll have to make some stand up flowers like hollyhocks or something. I really prefer that look. I think this same tutorial could be used for hollyhocks; maybe using a bigger circle hole punch instead, and different colors.
