Whoever assembled these flower clips left about 1/4" of the flower stem on them, so the flowers would stick up off my girls hair and looked ridiculous. Also the "gems" in the center were sloppily hot glued, some falling off, some raised up with so much glue that you could see the glue underneath. I took the gems off, removed the hot glue, and pulled the "stem" out of the flowers. I then held the petal rounds together with some super cheap grommets and super glued the "gems" and clips to the flowers. They look way better now. I know I got these flowers way cheaper than the high end ones I've seen elsewhere, so I really didn't mind having to fix them, but I really think it wouldn't take that much extra effort or cost for the manufacturers to assemble them a little better.
