Description
Transform ordinary pens into stunning art pieces using tiny flowers and glitter!
Ingredients
- Three plain pens (preferably with a smooth surface)
- Tiny faux flowers or dried flowers
- Glitter (various colors)
- Clear-drying craft glue or resin
- Paintbrush or small applicator
- Scissors
- A container for glitter
- Adhesive tape (optional for securing flowers)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Pens: Select clean and dry pens. Remove any labels or stickers. Choose your flowers and glitter colors.
- Apply Glue: Using a paintbrush, apply a thin layer of clear-drying glue along the pen’s body. Make sure the glue is even, covering the area where you want to attach the flowers.
- Add Flowers: Carefully place the tiny flowers onto the glue, pressing lightly to secure them. Space them out for an aesthetically pleasing look or cluster them for a fuller effect.
- Glitter Time!: While the glue is still wet, sprinkle glitter over the flowers and exposed glue. Shake off the excess glitter into your container to reuse later.
- Seal the Design: Add another layer of clear-drying glue or resin over the flowers and glitter to protect them. Let the pens dry completely, ideally overnight.
- Final Touches: Once dry, check for any parts that might need more glue or glitter touch-ups. Enjoy writing with your beautiful new pens!
Notes
You can swap faux flowers for real pressed flowers. Experiment with different glitter sizes and try using washi tape for patterns.
