Funky Pen
1 Pen
Embroidery thread
Craft glue
Thin wire
Beads
Take the pen and take the embroidery thread.
Dip the thread in the glue and glue it on the top of the pen (not the ink end). Wrap thread around the pen, don't leave spaces between wraps.
You may change colors of thread. Do this repeatedly until your pen is all covered.
Take the wire and cut 4 or more strips of wire about 3cm each.
You than need to put the wire through the thread. Twist the wire leaving a loop at the top and add the beads, I suggest 2 beads on each wire.
Then take the wire and loop it in to the bottom of the beads forming a loop. Do that repeatedly until you are happy with the amount of beads on the pen. Beads and wire look somewhat like a figure eight hanging from the pen.
Note: We have changed the contributed instructions on this pen to make it easier for our members to understand. We made this pen using lengths of wire, bending a small loop at one end and threading the beads onto the wire and closing the open end off with a loop . Twist the wire onto the pen and bind with the embroidery thread. -Craftbits

I like all of it except the beads. They lok kind of wierd.
I taught this craft to about 35-40 people at our company picnic this summer, and everyone loved it! I just wish I could have gotten photos of the creative variations they came up with :)
Hahaha! It's great! Everytime I see it, I smile!
why?
Our kids love doing this project. We also make simple journals to go along with the pens!

awsome double sided sticky tape also works instead of glue and is less messy
very good idea! especially because i have so much embroidery thread!very simple
