Valentine Rose Pen
Materials:
Egg shaped Styrofoam ball, Knife, Small clay pot, Bic ballpoint pen (any color), Scissors, Artificial rose, Glue gun, 25 inches of green floral tape, Craft moss, 6 inches 1/8 inch thick of red ribbon
Instructions:- Cut a small tip off the Styrofoam ball with the knife.
- Push the Styrofoam ball into the clay pot, flat end down.
- Push the pen into the Styrofoam ball, past the metal writing tip. At an angle rotate it a few times to make a hole slightly larger than the pen. Be careful not to make the hole too large, as the hole will serve to hold the upright pen later on. Remove the pen from the hole.
- Use the scissors to force or cut the cap off the pen. Be careful not to cut into the ink barrel.
Caution: Aim the pen away from yourself and others! Pull the rose off its stem. Notice the small remaining stem underneath the rose. Insert the remaining stem into the top of the pen, and glue it into place. Keeping it taunt, wrap the floral tape down the pen, starting just beneath the rose, until you get to the metal writing tip. Tear off excess tape. Insert your flower pen into the Styrofoam hole far enough to hold it upright. Be careful not to bunch up the tape. Place the moss inside the clay pot, covering the Styrofoam ball. Tie the red ribbon into a bow underneath the flower.
