Give them a journal where they can record their most private thoughts, and then let them make the pens they will use to write in the journal with. You can make the craft even better by letting them decorate their journal cover as well if you want. For flower pens you need fabric flowers, florist tape, floral wire, and some glue, as well as the pens. You are going to cut the stems of the flowers to be short, but not too short. Then use the floral tape to secure them to the tops of the pens. If the flowers do not have a plastic stem, use the floral wire to do it. It is easy and fun!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Flower pens: An easy, fun craft for tweens is to help them make flower pens.
