Lay out the nonstick paper and put the fondant on it. Use the color of fondant that you want your tulips to be. Pink, yellow, and purple are typical tulip colors. Fondant comes both colored and white so if you do not see the color you want, combine it with icing color, also found in the cake decorating section. Roll the fondant into a ball, and using a toothpick add stripes of color to it. Knead the fondant until it is evenly the color that you want. Add more color with the toothpick if needed.
