[@SuzyB0901]

Jennifer, you are delightful. I love the clarity of your videos and how you humanize them by talking about mistakes you have made. I have glued projects to my craft table in the past, too. LOL

[@JenniferMaker]

LOL Mistakes are the best way to learn I've found! 😊

[@carolync8405]

Just made one tonight and I love it. My mom is in a nursing home and I’m going to hang it in her room to brighten her day. Thanks for the free download and tutorial.

[@JenniferMaker]

So happy to hear you liked it, Carolyn!

[@godzfamileeful]

I have already cut the petals out with my explore and now getting ready to finish cutting the rest out because my client and I (im a caregiver for elderly with Alzheimers) are going to do this together and then Im hanging it up in her home. I LOVE YOUR LAUGH! You make me smile. Thank you for all your help Jennifer!

[@JenniferMaker]

That is so wonderful that you are doing that with your client!

[@godzfamileeful]

Hi I’ve made my sunflower I really love it and I would like to put a stem on it. Is there a pattern for leaves please.?

We do have leaves, Rita! They are meant for smaller flowers, but you can easily increase the size of them! You can find the tutorial for them right here! 😄 jennifermaker.com/leaves/

i love watching you, however it is hard to follow sometime because I have a silhouette cameo 4. I wish I had a cricut just so I can better follow you.how do you cut out the leaves on this flower in silhouette designer?

You should be able to pull it in as a DXF File. 😊

[@lovemycabrio]

I LOVE THIS!!!

[@pdfhome2517]

Beautiful! Beautiful! I subscribed and I signed up for the password and I received the password. I only received the template for the petals. Do I need to do anything else for the rest of the templates?

Everything should be in the files you received. Are you using the SVG, DXF, or PDF files?

This is amazing!! Someday I'll make this n

Oh, please do, Jeanette! They are AWESOME! 😍

I love how this look but was trying to print out the seed part and twice it was cut off. Wondering what am I doing wrong. But totally love this look

what am i missing here....... jennifer said the pattern is free for down load, but her website does not show the download anywhere - or you have to sign up by email I did that and still no free download pattern for the GIANT SUNFLOWER - does anybody know why

[@sandrastefano4199]

Jane I hope that you found it but you must enter her library and put in the password that she gave you with signing up for her e-mails then the file is there.

[@earphbound720]

For the petals, do they have score lines?

[@JenniferMaker]

They do not have score lines, but the pattern calls for you to turn the petals in by hand to make them look more realistic! 😍

Would this work to make smaller ones?

[@JenniferMaker]

That depends on how small you are thinking, Jessica! There's a limit to how small the holes in the center will cut! We do have a smaller version, though! The tutorial can be found by clicking this link! 🥰 jennifermaker.com/make-simple-rolled-paper-sunflower/

I love sunflowers wonder if there is a way I can is make one with metal or wood to put outside!!! Would love to be able to do that! I'm sure if anyone would know how to do that it'd be you 😁

[@JenniferMaker]

There is a limit to what our machines can cut, SuZan, but if you wanted to make something thicker than a Cricut can cut, you could always cut a template out and use that! 😉😍

[@sznmcrae61]

@@JenniferMaker thank you, I understand but is there a thin metal or maybe some mylar that the maker could cut to maybe make something similar?

or that clear disk they put in with the blank CDs

I made this and took it to work and before I could hang it on the wall, one of my residents to came and said she had to have it. So I had no choice but to give it to her so I guess I will be making another one soon.
