How to make a quilled fringed flower.

In the following pictures I will try to show you how to make a quilled fringed flower.    
First I cut a wide piece of scrapbook paper
and then a thinner piece of paper.
Taking the wider piece, I cut small cuts to make the
fringe careful not to cut all the way to the end.

I then start the flower by wrapping the smaller strip of paper on my slotted tool (or toothpick) and when I get to the end I glue the wider, fringed piece to the end of the narrow strip and proceed to roll it evenly and tightly until I get to the end.
 I add a small amount of glue to hold it in place.
 I then take the flower off of the tool and after it dries, I gently take my thumb and push the fringe away from the center thus completing the flower!

  Here you can see how the paper is crimped...   So all these images keep coming to mind on what kind of quilling-inside-an-ornament I can fathom up now.  Hmmmm.....done this, what about this kind of thing!  Well, I'm having a lot of fun trying out different projects and seeing what and how I can fit things inside those tiny little openings on the DIY ornaments.  This time I was thinking hard about a Christmas tree and how I could put it together inside the ornament and how I could decorate it.  Well, here are some pictures of my thought process and how it came about.  Sincere thanks again to Charlotte Canup of The Art of Quilling  of whom I purchased the pattern to make a snowflake inside an ornament.  She inspired me to go crazy with the desire to see what else I could try! Here I am rolling it with the quilling tool.   Here I've shaped them into squares...   It really is put together inside this flat plastic ornament!!! T...
