Take Fabric stiffener and Stiffen you flower and shape it how you would like and let dry. The base of the flower should have an opening large enough to go around the stem with the pen in it. After the Flower is Dry place flower around stem and glue down with a hot glue gun.
Optional: make a pom pom for inside the flower to hide the top of the pen. Do not place directly on to of the pen so you still will be able to stitch out the pen.
