Flourishing felt

Every year in spring we get these wonderful magnolia branches from my parents in law. From the tree in their garden. They almost cease blossoming. I was thinking to replace the real flowers then by fake felt ones. And of course someone thought of this before, because when I googled for felt magnolias, I found this tutorial. I made some changes though: coloured the outside of the leafs with pencil, used orange and pink for the heart and reduced the size by 50%. They look almost real when applied to the branch.
