So, today's craft is SIMPLE. I really didn't want to make a mess with anything, and just wanted to try something that would take a few minutes. I also had some flowers and things laying around left over from my cousin's wedding. I thought a flower pen would perfect for what I was looking for. Not only is this simple, it can also be a great gift or party bag stuffer.
Flower Pen
Supplies:
Flowers
Pen
Tape
Ribbon
Hot Glue Gun
I didn't go too fancy with my flowers, since I was just practicing anyway. Next time, I think I would go with one big flower, instead of a lot of the ones like these white flowers. It still served its purpose though. I also would use a different pen than my sharpie pen, but it's also my favorite pen, haha.
Take your flowers, and cut them about 1/2 - 1 inch shorter than the pen. Take the scotch tape, and tape the flowers in place to where you want them.
After you get your flowers where you want them, make sure to take a second look to make sure it doesn't need any adjusting, because after this next step, you won't be able to change it.
Take a ribbon of your choice, and start at the bottom of the pen, wrapping it around towards the top. You have two choices here, you can hot glue it as you wrap it, or you can wrap it really tight and just glue the top and the bottom of the ribbon. Your choice.
That's all there is to it. After I realized how simple it was to do this, I am going to find a better flower and ribbon to make more. I think you could make an extremely cute one with the right supplies!
Happy Craftin' Y'all!
