Filled Bead Pens
Looking for a quick and easy gift? These pens are perfect!
Materials:
- Pentel RSVP pen
- Microbeads
- Scrap paper
- Small spoon
- Tape
Directions:
- Unscrew the cap from the pen (The cap that holds the ink in).
- If the ink came out, put it back into the pen before filling.
- Measure ¼ to 3/8 tsp of microbeads.
- Tape the writing end in place because the ink will move when filling the barrel.
- Roll a small piece of paper into a tube to use as a funnel.
- Pour the beads into the pen with a small spoon (Or you can purchase a kit for these beads that contains a funnel and small scoop).
- Screw the cap back on and you have a beautiful beaded pen.
Ideas:
- Use more than one color of micro beads. Measure 1/8 teaspoon of each color and mix them.
- Quick and easy gift idea. Pair it with an altered comp book and you have beautiful hand made gift set for under five dollars.
