Here is an idea I copied from another board. Hope it helps.

The girls should love making these flower pens.
Use the simple writing pens that have a "plug" in the top.
Pull out the plug and insert a silk flower's stem (cut off to about 1 inch).
Fasten with a dab of hot glue. Then wrap the base of the pen with floral tape (stretch it as you put it on, that is what makes it stick to itself and not to you).
Fill a 3 inch clay pot with florist foam. Put the cap on the pen and force it down into the foam. You might want to put some glue around the cap to keep it in place. This will make a great holder for the pen.
Glue some green excelsior and leaves on top of the foam to hide it.

Note: I couldn't get the plug out of the pen (as was the case with many crafters here). Just hot glue the flower to the plug and continue with directions.
