Beaded pens - how do you do it?

[lisastamper0124]

I have never made a beaded pen before, but they look so cool, I just need to try it! Anyway, I know that most of you stamp on labels or sticker paper and then adhere to the pen, but then what do you use to make the pens stick? Also, what are the best pens to use for this? Thanks in advance, I can't wait to try this!

Also, do you find that the beads stay, or do they fall off when you use the pen?

Here's a good thread with instructions by Karixma, which I used to make my first beaded pens:

Hope that helps. They're a blast to make. Linda

Here is the definitive thread for beaded pens. There is an attachment from Suzanne of Penny Wise Arts and how she makes beaded pens.

Penny Wise has the best price for Microbeads and they just added new even smaller beads. Tell Suzanne "Purple Fran" sent you
