Hi All! Mari again...
If you've visited the store recently, I'm most definitely sure you noticed our new flower pens! We figured some of you might wonder how we made them and maybe even want to make some of your own...
so here's a step by step picture tutorial:
Materials needed:
- Pattern paper
- Zip Dry or Glue Gun
- Pens
- Tissue tape or ribbon
- Tulle
1. Cut a square out of pattern paper (this will make one petal) I used a 4x4 square to create our flowers. The bigger the square, the bigger the petal, the bigger the flower :)
2. Fold the bottom corner to the top. This will create a triangle.
3. Fold the left and right corner to the top.
4. Fold those same points down and align them to the edge of the square you created in the previous step.
5. Open up the flaps you just created by inserting your fingers and flatten them up.
6. Fold down points of both flaps creating two smaller triangles.
7. Fold the triangles back using the crease you made earlier.
8. Glue the outside triangles together.
9. Make 4 more petals (total of 5 to make your flower)
10. Glue all the petals together.
11. While your flower is drying, wrap a pen using tissue tape or ribbon.
12. Insert the pen through the flower as shown above.
13. Once the pen is at your desired height, add adhesive where the flower meets the pen to secure.
14. As a finishing touch, add some tulle for a little flair! :o)
There you have it.. I hope you enjoyed our little tutorial and are inspired to create some flowers of your own!
