Bucket of Pens

submitted by Erin

directions:

items needed: flowers, pens, green floral tape, can, beans

Cut your flower stem--leaving about 2 inches of stem. Take your pen and remove the top off the pen. Using the florist tape we are going to bind the pen. Florist tape sticks to itself when stretched so as you roll the pen you need to pull the tape tight as you wind, make sure you do not leave any gaps or the pen will show through. You can unwind this and try it again until you get it nice and flat. It's a little tricky but easy when you know how so have a few goes until you are happy with the result. When you are near the top, place the stem of the flower next the pen and finish binding the pen. If you have leafs you can ad them as you are binding.
