Floral Pens

Spring Is Here!!

Bring spring flowers that are also usable pens.

Materials:

• Fake flowers
• Pens (round in shape)
• wire cutters
• floral tape

Step 1:

Using the wire cutters cut the stem about 2 to 3 inches down from the flower.  Some times the wire is hard to cut, by bending it back and forth will help to break the wire off.

Step 2:

Wrap some of  floral tape around your pen. (You can also use a glue dot or hot glue to secure the tape down)

Step 3:

Place the wire stem next to the pen and wrap the floral tape around both parts.

As you see above just wrap the tape around both pen and wire stem.

Step 4:

Depending on the flower if I feel like the flower is not secure enough go back up and down again the wire stem before going all the way down.  

Keep wrapping down the pen, I usually wrap till I get to the edge of the cap, I like to keep the caps on my pens. If you feel a part is not secure just go back up and wrap around again.

Step 5:

Cut floral tape and press down.

 

(Optional glue down with glue dot or hot glue before you press down)

Done!!

Adding a Leaves

Step 1:

Cut leaf off at stem about 2 inches down.

Step 2:

Before you wrap the tape all the way down, place leaf stem next to pen and

wrap flora tape around it.

Step3:  

Keep wrapping and just like the flower cut, press down floral tape.(add glue if you want)

Done!!

Projects I have used the flower pens in.

Add it to a note book as a gift.

Put a bunch of them in a pail for a spring floral arrangement that is useful too.
