Cuteness at best... flower pens!

I'm sure you've seen flower pens, but have you seen them like this?  I first saw this idea many years ago, and decided to make some for my desk.  Here's the cute part: they are in a jar of magnetic letters.  Is that perfect for a teacher or what?  I *love* that detail.

If you want to make some here's what you need:

-Artifical flowers (about half a dozen)

-Pens

-Floral tape

-Hot glue

-Jar

-Magnetic letters to hold up the pens (or beans, but I love the letters!)

-Ribbon

Basically you wrap each flower around the pen with the tape, and secure the tape with a drop of hot glue.  Set them inside the jar with the letters or beans.  Viola!  They are easy to make and cute.  Did I mention how practical they are too?  Now when you have open house, people will never accidentially walk off with your pens.
