flower pen( I know I am just into flowers)
These are very cute and easy pens!
•Pen
•Silk or Plastic Flower with Stem
•Green Floral Tape
•Scissors
Instructions:
Hold the flower next to the pen and clip the flower stem so it is about 2-inches up from the tip of the pen. The flower should sit on the end of the pen. Remove and leaves. While holding the flower stem tightly against the pen, wrap the entire length of the pen with floral tape. This will secure the pen and flower together. With the floral tape you do not need tape or glue!

ture 1I have tried to make these so many times using different directions but this is the one that I have found works the best!
What you'll need:
-Pastel colored tissue paper
-Chenille stem
-Scissors
-Ruler
How to make it:Cut tissue paper into rectangles of desired size (5"x7" is the size pictured - see picture 1
Stack around 15 pieces of tissue paper. Use the same color or different colors. If you want to use a smaller number of pieces of tissue paper, flower will not be as full.
Accordion pleat the tissue paper working from the long side.
Wind one end of the chenille stem around the middle of the accordion pleated tissue paper.-see picture 2.
Trim the ends of each side to give the pedals a unique look. Trimming the ends into a point (like a triangle), or a bump (like a half circle) will look very pretty.
Gently separate each layer-see picture 3 pulling upwards toward the middle of the flower. (See photo). Do the second side.-see picture 4.
Let the children make a couple of flowers and put them in a May Basket. Early on the morning of May 1st hang on your mother's door, a neighbor's door, a friend's, or anyone special to you. Remember, it's supposed to be a surprise!
Tips:If you want to give your flowers some leaves, include a stack of green tissue paper folded accordion style during step 3. Trim the green paper into a shape of a leaf.

pin craft
Here is the website where you can see the picture.
http://crafts.kaboose.com/flower-pony-bead-pin.html
What you'll need:10 medium-large safety pins
One safety pin (without a coil)
100 pony beads in the following colors: 24 red, 12 yellow, 64 sky-blue
White towel for laying out beads
Grid included for flower pattern
How to make it:Lay beads out on towel.
String beads onto safety pins (see photo) as shown in the grid in this photo.
When all ten pins complete, place them on the coil-less safety pin in the order shown.
Tips:We added some green beads in one corner to simulate a flower stem.
You may choose to add a pretty ribbon that coordinates with the colors in the pin.
We found that picking up the beads with the pin point was easier than trying to place the beads onto the pin.
