Using floral pens to sign party books or to play games makes a festive occasion more jovial. These pieces of art can be created by any person since no skill is required. You only require normal pens, a silk floral bouquet, tape and a pot. This guide can be useful when you are making your first piece.
Ceramic and plastic pots are commonly used around the world. To show creativity, avoid using a plain pot. You can use an oil paint to make your plastic pot more attractive or water paint if the pot is ceramic. If you can produce lovely looking patterns, draw them on the surface. You also have the option to stick authentic pictures.
A silk floral bouquet will work best because it can survive for a longer time compared to fresh floral bouquets. You should begin by trimming the floral stem to a slim diameter. Alternatively, you can remove the outer cover of the stem to leave the inner wire exposed. The wire should not be disturbed because it is the support of the flower head.
It is easier to work with a straight pen. A good example is the common Bic pen. You should start preparing the pen by pulling off its end. Some pens like Bic have an end that is easily detachable from the stem of the pen. If the end is too rigid, use a razor to loosen it or to slash it.
A strong floral tape is used to join the two parts. The tape must have an adhesive that sticks on the wall of the pen. Begin by wrapping the pen from its tip upwards. You can wrap it with two layers of tape to increase the strength. The pen should be wrapped up to half its length.
To fix the two pieces, the wire supporting the floral head should be held firmly adjacent to the pen. Start wrapping the two pieces upwards up to the bottom of the flower head. You must enfold the assembly with another layer of tape starting from the tip. On reaching the floral bottom, pin down the end of the tape using an adhesive.
The beans to be used should be cleaned and dried. You do not want your guests to use a dirty pen. Pour the beans into the pot, but do not fill it to the top. You can use any type of beans, glass marbles or tiny attractive stones. Leave a few centimeters from the top to allow for pot tilting.
The size of the pot determines the number of floral pens to be used. The flowers should be of different colors. When ready, the floral ballpoints should be stuck into the beans systematically to take the shape of a bouquet. The entire piece should be able to resist wind movement if it is to be used outdoors.
Some people prefer to use glass vases and coffee mugs instead of ceramic pots. The surfaces of these glasses and mugs are printable. You should make enough flower pot pens for the people in your party. For a big party, you will require bouquets of many colors. Otherwise, your pieces of art will not meet your expectations.
