Here are some directions from the Wilton site.

Sunflower

Practice with Tips: 12, 16, 352

Icing Consistency: Stiff Royal Icing

Bag Position: 90° angle for center, 45° angle at 3:00 (9:00) for petals
Hold Tip: Slightly above surface
Flower Nail: #7

1. Hold bag fitted with tip 12 at 90° angle and squeeze a 3/4 in. diameter mound.

2. Use tip 352 and bag held at 45° angle to pipe two rows of pull-out leaves.

3. Use tip 16 and bag at a 90° to pipe stars on center mound. Let dry on flower formers.
