Make a vase of paper flower pens

Using regular cheapo bic pens, tape, craft glue, scissors or a craft knife, and colored paper, you can make a bunch of origami paper pens! It's easy.

Step 1 Make a flower

The first thing you need to do is make your origami flower. I'm not going to detail the instructions here, but here are a couple links to help you:

http://www.origami-instructions.com/origami-lily.html

http://www.origami-club.com/en/fruit/iris/iris/iris.gif

If those links don't work or are broken or something, do a web search for "origami lily" or "origami iris," and see if it comes up with something that will end up looking something like the picture of mine.

I used 4" paper for this particular flower, but anything from 4"-6" will work fine.

I know the vase sorta sucks, but I did mine super quick. Put more time into it and you'll have a better one. You could also get a regular terra cotta flower pot and fill it with dried beans or coffee for the "flowers" to stick out of. I think I saw someone do that somewhere, it turned out pretty cool.
