Step 3Make the center
I forgot to take process pictures of this step, but luckily it's the simplest part.
Keep in mind that the center is only about 1/5 or 1/6 the total mass of clay, so don't make it too big unless you're planning on making a really big Millefiori tube!
I started with straight black at the center, fading out the the lightest shade of green on the outside. Start by rolling the black into a tube. Take the next darkest shade and flatten it into a sheet--some people use a pasta roller for this--and wrap it around the tube. Repeat this for the other shades. What you end up with is a tube that when cut looks kind of like a bulls eye.
