Happy DIY Sunday, friends!
Today’s project is fun, quick, and adds a touch of sparkle to your daily writing – we’re making Beadable Pens. These are perfect for your purse, desk, gifts, or to sell at your craft booth. ✍️💖
🛠️ What You’ll Need:
✔️ Beadable pen blanks (available on Amazon or craft supply shops)
✔️ Large hole beads (acrylic, silicone, rhinestone, or metal)
✔️ Spacer beads (optional)
✔️ Small charms (optional)
✔️ Super glue (optional, to secure beads)
🎨 Step-by-Step Instructions:
1️⃣ Gather Your Supplies
Lay out your pen blanks and select beads that match your style or theme – think seasonal colors, holiday sets, or sparkle for everyday.
2️⃣ Unscrew the Pen Top
Most beadable pens unscrew at the top. Carefully remove the cap, exposing the rod for beads.
3️⃣ Arrange and Slide on Beads
-
Slide your beads onto the rod in your preferred order.
-
You can use spacer beads between larger beads for an elegant, professional look.
-
If desired, add a charm at the top bead for extra personality.
4️⃣ Secure the Top
Once your beads are in place, screw the top cap back on tightly.
💡 Optional: Add a small dot of super glue under the first bead for extra hold, especially if selling or gifting.
5️⃣ Test and Enjoy!
Click your pen, write a sweet note, and admire your beautiful creation.
💡 DIY Tips:
🌸 Make themed sets (e.g. teacher gifts, holidays, pink sparkle pens)
🌸 Use silicone beads for a fun, tactile grip
🌸 Create matching pens and beadable keychains for bundle sales at your craft booth
