DIY: Flower Pen Pots

 These flower pen pots were a hit for Mother's Day!! They will also make a perfect gitft for any occassion. They're so simple to make and the kiddos can help too. So let's get started!!!

Materials Needed:

Artificial Flowers
Wire Cutters
Clay Pot
Pens
Floral Tape
Sponge Brushes
Acrylic Paint
Acrylic Paint Marker
Glue Gun/ Glue Sticks
Decorative Rocks/Stones


Step 1: With a knife, carefully remove the cap off the end of the pen.

Step 2: With wire cutters cut the stem off the flower to approx. half the size of the pen...maybe even a little shorter.

Step 3: Add some glue around the pen chamber and place the end of the flower into the pen chanber. Press firmly until the flower is securely attached.

Step 4: Starting at the top of the pen, begin wrapping the pen with floral tape. Don't wrap the tape all the way to the bottom of the pen as if you do the cap wont close on the pen. Tape until you get to the pen top.

Step 5: Clip the floral tape and tack the end down. It should stick pretty well without using any hot glue.

Step 6: Paint your pots however you desire.

Step 7: Once it dries, use an acrylic paint pen to write a message on the pot.

Step 8: Once the pot is completely dry, fill each of the pots with beans or decorative stones and add your beautiful flower pens.

 See, easy as 1,2,3 :)
