4. Continue wrapping all the way down the pen until you reach about half an inch away from the tip.

5. Wrap back up towards the top of the pen, securing any loose ends as you go.

2. Hot Glue Flower Pen:

Materials:

2. Apply a generous amount of hot glue to the top of your pen cap or directly on the end if there are no cap.

3. Press and hold the flat surface of your silk flower onto the hot glue, allowing time for it to dry.
