I used the Flirtatious Designer Fabric for my project. I made this adorable flower pot that is filled with ink pens. Each flower stem is an ink pen that you can use. Isn't it just an adorable accent for any desk? Don't care for the pink and purple, change out the fabric to whatever your liking.
Each ink pen is wrapped in floral tape and the circle poof flower is attached at the top. I used a piece of 1/2" scallop dots old olive ribbon as the "leaves" on the stem of the flower.
Just a close up of the top of the flowers. The flowers are 16 circles folded in half and then half again and stitched together. You do 8 at a time and then hot glue to "halves" together to make a full round flower.
I finished the flower pot off with the 1 1/4" striped grosgrain ribbon in Melon Mambo tied around the rim and knotted. A great little touch, in my opinion. You can even take it a step further and add a cute tag to the ribbon if you are making it for a gift.
