I use the 5 petal rose cutter to make both plumeria and hibuscus. Very easy to do. Dust the centers with petal dust and viola!

If you look at the flower, it's easy to figure it out using that petal cutter.
Hope that helps.

I found that tutorial, but I think the link is http://www.toppartyideas.com/hibiscus-sugarpaste-flowers/. kokopuff, I couldn't get yours to work. Hopefully this one will work.

Those little hibiscus are sooo cute! Great idea, I always get hung up on making then too realistic. The color combinations and the veining on the petals make them perfect!
