To create the center of the sunflower we will slightly fold the fringe down by bending it with your fingers.

Beginning at one end, start rolling the fringe center piece inwards. Add glue as you go every few rolls to keep it tightly together.

Continue rolling till you have used 16-20 fringe pieces. The whole center will probably take you 5-7 minutes to roll. Your center will measure between 2-3 inches once made.
