This will make one floral pen
Hot glue gun with glue
stick
1 silk flower
1 ballpoint pen
Green florist tape
Scissors
How to Make the Pen
1. Remove
the silk flower and leaves from the artifical flower bunch.
Insert a glue stick into the hot glue gun and an turn it on.
You
may like to have a scrap of paper underneath the glue gun to protect
your work area from melting glue.
2. Remove the cap from the top of the pen.
Using the florist
tape wrap the pen, starting at the ballpoint end. Neatly wrap
around the tip of the pen and continue to wrap the tape arround it
until
it is completely covered.
3. Turn your flower over so that the base is facing upwards
and
glue the leaves to the bottom of the flower. Press down
lightly
to bond.
Be careful not to burn yourself when using the glue gun as it will be
very hot.
4. Place some more hot glue onto the center of the flower
(see
above image) and wait a few seconds before firmly placing the
end
of the pen in the glue (see below).
Make sure that the pen is straight and continue to press down until the
glue has set.
