Flower Pen Tutorial

I made flower pens for my grandma’s Christmas present.  She loved them.

Here’s how I made them:

You will need:

floral tape
scissors
a silk flower
a pen

First you take the cap off the writing part of the pen and put it on the end part.
Then you hold the flower against the pen cap so you can start to wrap it.

After you have it held how you want it, you start wrapping the floral tape around the pen and the flower pulling the floral tape as you go.

  After you get the flower and pen together, you keep pulling the floral tape and wrapping the tape around the pen.

Keeping wrapping the floral tape until you get to the point of the pen.  Then cut the floral tape and secure it to the pen.  Be sure to keep pulling the floral tape as you go down the pen because that is what makes it stick.

Here is your finished pen.  I made six for my grandma and I made a little flower arrangement in a mug with them.  She loved them so much!
