Missy's Flower Pens

• Fake flowers
• Ball point pens with lids
• Clear tape
• Liquid glue
• Floral tape
• Small flower pot
• Scissors
• Dry black beans

1. Hold one of your pens next to one of your flower’s stem.
2. Use your scissors to cut the stem the same length as the pen (with the flower on the end).
3. Use two pieces of clear tape, one near the top and one near the bottom, to hold the stem to the pen.
4. Glue your floral tape to the end nearest the flower and wrap it round and round until you reach the writing side of the pen.
5. Use your scissors to cut the floral tape.
6. Use your glue to secure that end of the floral tape to the pen.
7. Follow steps 1-6 again and again to make more flower pens. And let the glue dry.
8. Fill your pot nearly full of dry black beans.
9. Poke each pen down through the beans so it looks like they are growing out of the pot.

Now you have a fun springtime set of pens and a fun pen holder. You can place this on your desk at home, give them to your Mom for Mother’s Day or put them on a parent’s work desk. Be creative and have fun!
