Lets make some DIY flower pens with duct tape!
First, were going to make the yellow center of the daisy.
Cut a piece of 1-inch long yellow duct tape.
Then, use a craft knife to cut the tape.
Wrap the square piece over the top of your pen to cover it.
Use your rectangular pieces to wrap around the edges of the square tape.
This will ensure that it stays put and the ends looks neat.
Now were going to transform the pens barrel into a daisy stem!
Then, carefully roll the pen over the duct tape to create a stem.
Now were going to make the petals!
Use your craft knife to slice the duct tape into three approximately equal pieces.
Now stick your petals onto your pen.
Once your daisy has enough petals, its time to cover up the bottoms of the petals.
This will hide any uneven ends and ensure that your petals stay put.
Now enjoy your lovely bunch of daisy flower pens.
Theyre sure to brighten up your day every time you use them!
