A Lovely Flower Pot










I like spring. It has been in the 80's out in here in California and I have been getting spring Fever. So I decide to act out on my feelings of Spring, and came up with this fun way to keep your pens!

If you are like me, I can't find a pen when ever I need one. So I decide to make a flower pot full of pens, that way I can't lose these sweet flowers.

So You will need:
Pens-Of course.
A Flower Pot
Paper Cut outs (I used a cricut to make mine)
Brads (I used Star shaped, but you can use any ones)
Paint
Brush
Stuffing (you can use anything, I used packing from a box that we got for Xmas. Another good one would be beans.)
Floral Wire
Floral tape
Hole punch

1)Paint the flower pot. I did two coats, but anything that covers the pot.
2)Cut out your shapes for the flowers, centers, and leaves. Punch holes for the brads though each piece, center for the flower, centers, and the leaves through the edge.
3)Stuff the pot once it is dry.
4)Wrap the wire around the pen, leaving a loop at the end for the flowers
5)Wrap the floral tape up and around the pen and wire.
6) Put the flower together, and attach through the loop.

And you are done!
