FLOWERS for DIY FLOWER PENS
Almost any flower will do. You're going to cut the stem down to size, so you don't have to worry too much about that. Just make sure they have at least a couple inches of stem, and that the flower isn't so big that it's cumbersome when you're holding it on top of a pen you're using to write with.
FLORIST TAPE for DIY FLOWER PENS
I used 1/2″ wide dark green florist tape, but you can use any color you like!You will only need a hot glue gun if you choose to insert the flowers into the pens. If you want to mount it along the side of the pen, you can skip this element.
I also use a small dot of regular school glue for each pen.

HOW TO MAKE A DIY FLOWER PEN BY INSERTING THE FLOWER INTO THE PEN
This method centers the flower perfectly how to get australia whatsapp number in the pen. It does take a little more work though (but is still very simple). You cannot use a pen with a clicker top for this method.
Remove the cap from the back end of the pen. The end doesn't have to be pretty, so go ahead and get aggressive. I like to use scissors to make a gap between the pen and the end cap and tear it off from there.
Cut the stem of the flower to size. Leave it as long as you can, but it will probably need to be fairly short because it will hit the inside of the pen that holds the ink.
Wrap the pen with the florist tape. I like to start from the bottom (or the part closest to the writing tip). It won't stick well to the pen directly, but rather it will stick to itself. When you stretch it, it sticks better, so be sure to use a little tension as you wrap it. Make sure each wrap generously overlaps the previous rotation.
Use a small dot of glue to secure the end of the florist tape. It will probably stick to itself, but I'd rather be safe than sorry.
Use your hot glue gun to place a small bead of glue around the back (open) end of the feather where you removed the end cap.
Insert the flower into the pen and press it into the glue. Allow to dry before use.
