A Great Back to School Craft Idea.
What
You’ll Need: *
- 1 pretty silk flower {check your craft store}
- 1 Ball-Point Pen or however many you want to make
- 1 Mason Jar
- River Rocks
- Floral Tape {check your craft store)
What
You’ll Do:
- Remove top off pen. {on some pens these just pop right off…sometimes they don’t )
- Trim flower stem so the length will be just long enough for the stem to fit down into the pen. {I used a wire cutter)
- Add a thin amount of hot glue to flower stem, and insert into pen. Allow to dry.
- Begin to wrap the floral tape around the pen {it will stick to itself when stretched}, so pull the tape fairly tightly as you wrap.
- Wrap all the way up to the base of the flower, then trim off the floral tape and secure. Isn’t it looking pretty?
- Now… go grab your jar ~ fill it with shiny little river rocks, and pop your pretty flower pen into it!
- Tie some matching ribbons around the jar, and you’ve got a Pretty Flower Pen {or another fun gift in a jar) !
Warm Regards and love,
Erin
