What You'll Need Bic Pen (ball point) silk flower floral foam low temp hot glue gun floral tape paint or markers small notepaper or Post-It pads small to medium sized terra cotta pot How To Do It Note: Adult supervision is needed when using a glue gun. 1. Start by decorating the flower pot. Have the child be creative! They can use colorful designs or patterns. Have them use paint or markers. Let dry while you move on to the next step. 2. Remove the cover from the pen and set aside. 3. Choose a nice big silk flower – sunflowers and carnations work well! Pop the silk flower off of its stem. Put a dab of glue on the end of the pen, and push the flower on to the end, right into the glue. Hold in place for about 30 seconds to secure. 4. Use floral tape to wrap over the seam of the flower and the end of the pen. Continue wrapping all the way down to the tip. The floral tape will adhere better if you give it a slight tug as you are pulling it. 5. After the pot is dry, add a small piece of floral foam to the center of the pot (about 2"x2"), securing it with the glue gun. Then add a small dab of glue to the pen cover and push into center of foam. 6. Slide the pen into the cover, and surround with a few pieces of paper or post it note pads.
