Step 1: Cut each petal following the template, or draw a heart shape and cut it out.

Step 2: Attach the leaf veins: Use five 18-gauge floral wires and glue them as shown in the image. Flip the leaf over and press along the veins to create a raised texture for a more realistic look.

Step 3: Spray the leaf edges with a darker green paint to add depth. Gently curve the leaf, and bend the excess floral wire at a 70-80° angle.

Step 4: Attach all four leaves together, securing them with hot glue at the overlapping floral wires.

Step 5: Bend the bottom of the plastic tube (leaf stem) into a flat circular shape perpendicular to the upper stem, or attach it to a metal base. Wrap the stem with a strip of foam in the same color as the clover.
