Quick and Easy Valentines Gift

I wanted to come up with a quick, inexpensive, and cute idea for my son's teachers.  I have made this before, but thought it would be a perfect "teacher" gift.  I'm talking about Pen flowers!  What teacher doesn't use a pen, right? They are so easy to make, and really inexpensive.

Here is what I used:

I got all of this at the Dollar Store, so I spent $5.00 on these pictured items, not bad for one gift

lay one stem against the pen, then wrap with the floral tape

be sure to pull the floral tape tightly so that it sticks to the pen

wrap it all the way to the top, be sure to cover the top of the pen, 

then just rub it, so it has a smooth finish

I wrap the caps so that they look like a complete stem 

I used the decorative accents to fill the vases

It's as simple as that!  

Teacher's valentines complete!

Have a beautiful Friday friends! Love, BJ
