I love bluebells! I use a small lily nail (I think it's 1 1/4") and a tip 67. Start down in the middle and pull out petals just to where the nail bends outward. Don't let them drape over the top of the nail. Make 3 petals in a "Y" formation, then go back in and do 3 more petals in the open spaces. Then I use a tip 3 or 4 and pipe a little mound in the center and insert 3 short artificial stamens (I like the sparkly ones!). Voila! So cute! I will try to post a picture momentarily. icon_smile.gif

Btw, what color are bluebells normally? And do they look nice on a cake with poinsettias? Thanks icon_lol.gif
