Thanks Vicki 
May as well post instructions here for all to see!
1. Start by making a ball of sugar paste on a flower wire - about the size of a penny, leave to dry a while.
2. Roll out the sugar paste, thin but not too thin and cut 6 petals (all the same size) with a tulip cutter (I used the simple tulip petal cutter - like the one in the Holland tulip set in the link above).
3. Using a small round tool thin out the edges of the petal and curl inwards slightly.
4. Using sugar glue to stick the petals on, wrap the petals around the ball - do this in 2 layers of 3 petals each. On the first layer the petals will overlap a lot but on the second they will only overlap a little, if at all. Make sure the petals are curling in so you can't see too much of the ball in the centre.
5. I coloured mine after they had dried by painting with a mixture of petal dust and clear alcohol.
Hope this makes sense - they are quite similar to making roses with sugar paste, just a case of getting the number of petals and configuration correct.
thank you every one, and wow Bunsen, yours looks fabulous, hope mine turn out like yours....
I have a tutorial if you guys want you can send me you e-mail and I will send them to you, the totorial it is step by step, and it is really easy to make.
