Lu loved making these guys. Sure, I had a few moments of stressfulness as I tried to prevent my sneaky 4 year old from grabbing the glue gun (because she was quite certain she was definitely capable of working it herself, much to my despair). All in all though, things went pretty smoothly.
In fact, I was marveling in how smoothly things had gone overall when Lu suggested we add GLITTER. Blah. GLITTER. The least favorite thing of all parents. However it WAS for her birthday, so I decided we could add a bit. So I got out my spray adhesive and some glitter much to the girls excitement.
And them I let one help spray the glue and the other sprinkle the glitter.

I became covered in glitter. My kids squealed in delight that I looked like Tinkerbell. Or maybe more like one of those Twilight vampires? Either way, I felt more like a scaly fish as I plucked piece by piece of glitter off from my arms...
Not my best move. But we all managed to survive. Any my husband hasn't realized how sparkly the newly poured concrete patio is outside...YET. It's ok though. My kids LOVED making them, and hopefully it will be a very fun memory for the kids. After we made them they stuck them in the ground to make a garden, which we did for the real party too as a part of a Fairy adventure game we created.
But enough talking! Let's make some flower pens!
- Pens
- Floral Tape
- Fake Flowers
- Hot Glue Gun
- Spray Adhesive and Glitter (optional)
Start by wrapping the floral tape around the base of the flower.
This was Lu's favorite part, and she was really good at it.
At the end, I just finished wrapping, and the tape seemed to stick to itself. We used some spray adhesive to spray the flowers and then sprinkled some glitter on.
They certainly came out sparkly!!!

XOXO,
Jill

ReplyDeleteWhile planting your flowers, you should utilize the suitable gardening supplies. Utilize a huge scoop to burrow an opening of around 2-5 inches bigger than that of the root wad of the plant you need to develop.vladimir vrbaski republika
