I am going to show it to you in 3 different sizes. Depending on how thick you want your page to be you can even layer them on top of each other.
You need to start with a strip of paper 12 inches long and either 2inches, 1 1/2 inches or 1 inch wide.

Then you are going to score it ( or make a pencil mark about an 1/8 of an inch from one edge...I score mine.

After you have done this, you are going to fringe your paper by cutting strips up to either your pencil line or your score mark...like this.

You are going to do this for the entire length of your paper.

Next, using a pencil, or skewer, or tweezers..you are going to start at one end and roll your paper up.

Next step is to stand it up on end and start gently opening up your flower by folding the "fringe" or little strip outward. when you are done it will look similar to this.

This could be your completes base flower...but I took mine a little further. I used my skewer to curl under the edges of my fringe.
and then I adhered the smallest size..a 1 inch flower to the center of a 2 inch flower with liquid adhesive.

Next , because I am bling lover and I used some of my stickles to add little dots to some of my fringe and and as a center.
