I was running out of bolts, so I reverted to nails. Big mistake. If you have bolts, use them. Nails are very hard to work with.

Make your petals however you'd like. I welded 4 of them to a nut (see picture).

I'm going to end up clipping the ends that stick out off later.

Edit!

I scrapped that petal idea, it was lame!

Went over my cousin's house and he had some really nice scrap metal.
Put together some scrap stuff and just make it look nice. This is supposed to be "open-source" type art, so just have fun with it!
