Duct Tape Flower Pen
Aryanna Riven
Reason to make
Duct tape flower pens are just to make your pens look nice. Having them on your desk will give someone something to look at. You can also gift them for parties or just keep them in a vase on a table to decorate the table.
~Procedure~
Step 1
Cut off a piece of duct tape so that it is a square.
Step 2
Grab the right corner of the piece of tape and fold it towards the left side. (make sure you leave two strips of sticky like in the picture)
Step 3
Fold the left side down to the right side leaving a sticky strip at the bottom.
Step 4
Repeat step 1-3 until you have about 20 pyramid shaped duct tapes.
Step 5
Wrap one piece of tape around the bottom of the pen so the bottom isn't showing.
Step 6
Keep wrapping pieces around. Make sure the point of the pyramid isn't touching another point.
Step 7
Change color at any time.
Step 8
Keep adding pieces until the flower is as big as you want it.
Step 9
Get your floral wrap. Start at the tip of your pen and wrap up to the flower.
Step 10
Start at the end with the flower and wrap back down to the tip to put a double layer on it for extra strength.
:D
And that is how you make a flower pen !

Other Information
- Using a hard, flat surface when folding the tape is recommended.
- Floral wrap isn't necessary but makes the pen look nice.
- I prefer to use duct tape, but any kind of tape works.
- Any round object such as a straw or crafting stick works if you don't want to use a pen.
