DIY Flower Pens

 

Spring is almost here! Or at least that is what I keep telling myself every time I have to put on 5 layers of clothes just to go check the mail. I wanted to make a fun spring craft to bring a little color to this dreary Sunday so I thought these DIY Flower Pens would be perfect! These DIY Flower Pens would make great teachers gifts, favors for parties, or just fun for your own personal use! You would always know if you let someone borrow your pen!

Step 3: Next, wrap your floral tape around the pen and the flower, wrapping them tightly together. Start from the top and secure at the bottom.

And that is it! 4 simple steps and you have a super cute DIY Flower Pens! This project cost me about $7 and made 6 pens all together. You could also get a cute flower pot and put a whole bouquet of DIY Flower Pens together for a great gift! This is such a versatile project because of the amount of different bunches of fake flowers there are! Make sure you print out a coupon for your local craft store to make this a cheap (but not cheap looking!) craft!
