How to Make a Duct Tape Flower Pen

Today, I’ll be sharing how to make a duct tape flower pen and how it is so easy to do and very fun too.  There are actually a lot of duct tape projects out there in which you and your kids can have this a bonding moment with them. But for today I’ll be sharing the DIY duct tape flower pen.

How to Make a Duct Tape Flower Pen

The Materials that you will need on How to Make a Duct Tape Flower Pen are:

Colorful Duct Tapes

Razor Blade

Ruler

Tape Measure

Pens

Step 1

Start by measuring the length of the pen that you are going to use. Then cut the same measurement onto the duct tape using the razor blade and the ruler (the razor blade is so much easier to use rather than the scissors). You can use any color, it is all up to you on which color you like but most likely I would use the green one to represent the stem.

Step 2

Simply wrap the duct tape onto the base of your pen. Use the same method for the cap of your pen, if ever it has one. Cut any excess of the duct tape and use it to cover the rest of the pen cap.

Step 3

You can now then start making the petals by measuring 16 inches of duct tape. Use the razor blade and the ruler to cut every 2 inches of the duct tape. This will give you 8 perfect 2×2 square. This will be for your flower petals. I’m making two colors for the petals for this DIY duct tape project, so that is 16 inches for one color and another 16 inches of a different color.

Step 4

Take one 2×2 square and fold one corner toward the middle. Take the other corner next to it and do the same by taking it to the middle. Just make sure that you have the bottom edges aligned. You should have half an inch of the tape exposed and on the other tip, it should have a fold and that will be the flower petal. Do the same procedure with the rest of the petals. Once done, lay them out so they will be ready once you use them.

Step 5

Decide which color would be the inner flower petal then start wrapping the petal at the base of the pen. On the direct opposite of the first petal, wrap the next petal.  For the next petal, place it where there is a gap on the opposite side of the petal and followed by the next petal on the other opposite side. Once you already have the four petals for a guideline, just add the petals on the spaces. Then just add the next colors of the petals as you go.

Step 6

Cut another 2 square pieces and cut them out diagonally. This will have four small triangular shapes. Place the triangle shape tape at the base where the petal meets the pen;place it by having the pointy side up.

This duct tape flower pens are so cute and adorable. On my next blog, I’ll be making some other duct tape projects but for now we will just stick on how to make a duct tape flower pen.
