Flower Pens

As a Vacation Bible School teacher, sometimes it is hard to come up with fresh ideas for crafts. So on Mondays I post any craft ideas that I come across that might work. Join in and pass the word! ~ April

Flower Pen

This is an old idea, I think we even made these way back when I was in VBS. But it is still a good one! You can make them with or without a flower pot. Some versions have foam in a small clay pot to hold the pen up. The photo above has beans, but you could use rice or coffee beans as well. You could even make an entire flower arrangement.
I think this would also make good Sunday School projects, maybe for Valentine's Day or Mother's Day.

Here are some tutorials and ideas:

*+*+*+* Psalms 73: 22 - 24
So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee. Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand. Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.
