Have you glammed up your school supplies? Check out this blast from the past — a cute craft from our archive.
What you need:
-
- Thin, regular ballpoint pens
- Fake flowers on wire stems
- Green floral tape
- Scissors
What you do:
- Take the cap off the pen.
- Take the leaves off the flower so it’s just the stem with the flower on top.
- Cut the stem so it’s shorter than the pen.
- Hold the flower next to the pen so the flower rests on top of the pen.
- Start at the top of the pen and wrap the green tape around so it attaches the stem to the pen.
- Continue wrapping the pen to the stem until you reach the bottom of the pen.
- If you want, spray the flower with perfume!

These make great spring party favors!
Do you have a great idea for a craft, recipe or party game? We’d love to hear them!
~ This is soooooo pretty! ~
What a great idea!
So cute, and such a fun idea! =D Congrats on the feature!
I’ve done these before–lots of fun to make! But I took the flower off the stem and took the pen apart so I had the outer tube by itself. I hot glued the flower to the top of the pen, then I wrapped it with floral tape to the bottom of the tube. Put the ink tube back in and I have a flower that writes. If your pen doesn’t come apart (the button top and the pen ink tube have to come off to do it the way I did it), this is a great way to do it. And it’s easier than my way; I’m just a perfectionist, lol. Once I finished the pens, I painted a flower pot as a pen holder (we had decorated with a flower theme at the time).
Great idea
So cute and easy to make! I may have to do this with my grandchildren. Thanks for sharing.
