On the Twelfth Day of Christmas my true love gave to me... Twelve flowers with love notes!

The love notes are saying from three of our Scrappy Moms Stamps sets - Sweet Somethings, Amusing Animals, and For the Boys. These flowers are also PENS! Here's how they are made...
You will need stick pens not "click-top" ones, hot glue and floral tape.
1) Remove the cap on the end opposite the writing point.

4) Continue wrapping the floral tape overlapping while you go.

5) When you get to the end put a little hot glue on the end of the tape to secure it.
ALL DONE! You can start using your pen "write" away. :)
Now for the Blog Candy....
