DIY Teacher Gift -- Flower Pens

This is my favorite kind of project..... an easy and inexpensive DIY gift!  My boys wanted to take something to their teachers on the first day of school, so I decided to make some pretty "flower pens".



All you need are some fake flowers, pens, and floral tape.


Step 1:  Cut the flower so that it is slightly shorter than the pen.


Step 2:  Wrap the tape around the pen and flower.  {I started in the middle, wrapped to the bottom, and then wrapped to the top.}



Step 3:  Pinch the end to seal.


That's it!  Easy, cute and practical.  What teacher wouldn't love a bouquet of these pens on the first day of school?

    1. If you are having trouble, you can secure the end with a piece of tape or a little hot glue.
