Making Pens


Friendship Pens

Make them for yourself or swap 'em with your friends!
Why not use your school or scout colors or your favorite colors.
Ages 8 and up.

Supplies You Will Need:

  • Ball Point Pen
  • Multi-Color Yarn
  • Tacky glue or Low Tack Glue Gun
  • Beads (Optional)

Instructions:
Using as little glue as possible, place a very thin bead of glue
near the tip of the pen and up about 1" on to the barrel.
Starting near the tip, wrap yarn tightly around pen without
leaving any gaps. Add more glue as you go.
You can change yarn colors but it is much easier to use
multicolor yarn.
When you reach the end, trim and secure with a little dab of glue.
Cut three 12" pieces of yarn.
Knot the three pieces together near one end.
Braid and end with another knot.
Glue on pen end. Add additional braids if desired. Your can also
add pony beads or alphabet beads.
Variation for Scouts:
Use our Number Beads and decorate pens with your troop number.

Good Luck, Have Fun.
