St. Patricks Day Flower Pens

Almost everyone has artificial flowers around their house that have gone astray. This St. Patrick's Day, put them to use by making these fun flower pens. Here's what you'll need to make your own:

 - Artificial Flowers
 - Floral Tape
 - Wire Cutters
 - Any Color Pens

Extend the flower across the length of the pen. Make sure the bottom of the pen is touching the lower petals of the flower. Then trim it to be about 1cm shorter than the length of the pen.

Secure the flower onto the pen by wrapping them together with floral tape. Be sure that the sticky side of the floral tape is face down. Wrap it tightly around 2 to 3 times, be sure that they will not come apart.

Then, starting about 1 cm above the tip of the pen, wrap the floral tape around at a slight angle. At this angle, you will be able to continue up the pen until you reach the top. At this point, you can cut the floral tape and wrap any excess around the pen.

Now, you can write with your new creation, or put your flower pens into a vase to place on your desk for a pop of festive color.

New Item: Amethyst Lariat

The word lariat is a derivation of the word lasso; in this style of necklace one beads a long strand, with a large bead and loop at either end of the strand. It can be worn looped through the front, clasped from the back, or wrapped around the wrist. The diversity of this piece is what makes it one of my favorites.
