Flower shaped pen stand (holder) with tissue paper holder and foam sheets!

This is a shining pen stand which will look like a flower. This is very easy to make and if we don't have tissue holder, use small pvc pipes or any tubes with 4-5 cms diameter. And, instead of glitter foam sheets, we can also use normal color paper glued with glitters.

Glittered foam sheets
Beads
Glue gun
Scissors
Normal foam sheet/ribbon (to make roses)
Fruit stocking net/floral net (to make the center flower)


Description:

We need five tissue paper holders with 10 cm in length (each). Mark for 3 cm from the top and draw a cross line and cut the holder through the line. Make the same for all five holders.
Paint the inner side of the tissue holders with suitable color. Using glue gun, fix the tissue holders like a flower (as like in picture)
Take a snack box, cut one side and paint the inner side of the sheet with suitable color. Stick the sheet at the base side of the tissue holder stand. Cut the remaining sheet.
Stick the glitter foam sheet on over the whole sides of tissue holder stand.
Cut the remaining foam sheet that extruding out from the stand.
Fix bead chain on each openings (to look like a flower).
For decorating the center, make tissue net rose or any paper flower and fix at the center.
For decorating the sides, make foam or ribbon roses and fix on all sides.
