Here are my version of the instructions from a swap I did.
Beaded Pens Directions
You can use almost any kind of pen. For this particular swap, I used Marvy Gel Pens that I bought from AC Moore for $1 a piece (these are also available at Michaels). Hey � I wanted GREEN!! ? If you use a click pen, you have to be able to remove the hooky clippy thing.
These directions are for a Marvy Gel Pen��
Ingredients
Label Sheet (either full, half, or large labels)
Small stamp of your choice
Markers (I used Mint Melody, Green Galore or Hunter Green)
Red Liner Tape (available at AC Moore & Michaels..maybe Wal-
Mart)
Clear Microbeads � I used Top Its from AC Moore. Make sure they do not have holes in
Them.
Craft tray
Pen of your choice
Directions
1) Cut your label to 1 ��x 3 1/16�
2) Stamp your label and color as you wish. Small stamps work best�.1 �� or smaller.
3) Peel the back off the label, carefully line up straight with the pen and wrap around the pen.
4) Put your container of microbeads
5) Cut your Red Liner Tape 1 �� x 3 1/16� and peel the white backing off.
6) **Careful!** This stuff STICKS TO ANYTHING!!!
7) Carefully line up the edge of the tape with the pen � once you start going, there is no turning back!!
Roll the pen, and before you get all the way around, peel off the first part of the red liner then continue to roll.
9) **BE SURE NOT TO ROLL OFF THE RED LINER � pick it up and finish it.
10) Dip the pen in the beads, cover as much as you can before you roll it in the beads.
11) Roll the pen in the beads.
12) When you have achieved thorough coverage, roll the pen between your hands.
13) That�s it!!!
**I have tried EVERYTHING and Red Liner Tape ROCKS** Those beads will NEVER come off. Wacky tacky � no. Treasured Memories � no. The SU! Tape is not wide enough. This red liner stuff is AWESOME.
VARIATION: To adjust this for a larger or smaller pen�1) roll your pen by a ruler to get its circumference, 2) measure the barrel accurately (Deciding whether or not to cover any grip part)
Bic Stics, RSVP Pens and Marvy Pens work the best!!!
