I'd like to make rosebuds, I have tip #104.

I can mostly get the base petal to look correct, but I cannot for the life of me get the top petal on and looking like a rosebud!

Does anyone have a step by step picture or video guide? I'm a visual learner so reading instructions only helps mildly.

I have... the directions confuse me and they only have 3 pictures.

If I can /see/ it being done I can usually do it without a problem.

Do you have a digital camera? Can you take a picture of yours?

One of the keys for the first part is to make sure you don't do it too big. For the second petal you want to hold your back at a 4:30 postion (7:30 if you are left handed), that should put your back off to your side but not all the way to the side. You will also have your bag at a 45* angle.

Hold the tip of the bag even with the raised portion of the first petal. Squeze the icing and it should curl under and attach itsself to the first petal. When it attaches you will move your bag to the left and pull it down beside the side of the raised petal. Maybe sure you are not dipping the bag down and moving around the bottom of the first (raised) petal. You want to be going over then beside it.
