Aren’t these pens adorable?  They are so super easy and fun to make.  I made these along with a matching notebook at a class I taught at the local library. Here how it’s done: First you need a  Pentel RSVP pen or similar style.  You will need a piece of decorative paper cut to the appropriate length..3½ " x 7/8". (This is a great way to use up all those little paper scraps you can’t seem to get rid of) . You also need a piece of double sided tape or sticky strip cut to same measurement as your decorative paper. Using snail adhesive or a glue stick apply the decorative paper to the pen.  Use a bone folder to firmly rub the paper onto the pen.  Then apply the sticky strip on top of that and rub that on firmly as well.  Gently remove the backing from the sticky strip to expose the sticky. **DO NOT allow the ends to overlap until the backing is removed. Roll the pen in the microbeads until well coated.  When fully covered roll the pen on a flat surface to press beads into place.  You can add a little piece a ribbon if desired.  ENJOY!!
