decorative pen

Hi,
Yes, I have seen posts on here on how to get beads on the outside of the pen, etc. What I am looking for or wondering is if anyone has done or knows how to do the one with the paper inside. I think the paper is stamped first.

I have only done them with the beads on the outside. But my daughter did one with the paper inside. She just cut the paper to size to fit inside. She stamped the paper, rolled it up and put it in the barrel. That was it. I don't know if that is how other people do it but it looked great. She also did another one and put the stamped paper inside and then put beads on the out side. IT looked really bad.
The outside looked frozen and you couldn't see what was stamped. It looked like a colorful mess. She liked it though. She thought it was cool.
