Default Clover tutorial

I am looking for a clover tut for March. I've made some attempts and they are so sad looking. Any advice?
Thanks:

Clover and Shamrocks - 3-4 raised dots - heat each one and slice the center with a razor or knife - leave raised - use a thing stringer for the stem.

ou can also make 4 hearts that connect in the center if you want more detail on the leaves by raking or razoring the ends.

Try making 4 petals first. Keep them warm and attach them to a small round flat paddle at the end of a mandrel. When they are all on you can pull the paddle into a stem and add a loop.
