Make girly pens with materials you can see at home or at work. This craft I'm going to make is made with some things I found around at work while I waited for the break time to be over.
Supplies:
- pen
- tissue paper
- markers (any color)
- glue
- green sticky notes
- scissors
- thread
Steps:
- Unroll tissue up to fourth piece and cut.
- Fold it four times.
- Cut zigzags on both open edges.
- Stain the zigzags with any colored marker.
- Open the tissue out wide.
- Gather tissue in an accordion form.
- Tie its center with a thread very tightly and open both sides wide.
- Stain the center with another color of marker. (see photo)
- Separate the layers and also color the middle part of the layers.
- Press the bottom to compress and form a flower. Set aside.
- Remove pen cover.
- Cover whole body of the pen with green sticky notes. Make adjustments for the pen cover to fit.
- Cover top of pen with another layer of sticky note exposing half of it.
- Cut the other side of the paper open.
- Add another layer and pull that down.
- Cut the layers on a leaf shape. Then put some glue on it.
- Add the flower to the center of the leaves. Place your flower on top of it and let dry completely.
- You can now start writing with your flower pen.
