Pens don’t just have to be for making art – with a little imagination a boring old ballpoint pen can become a work of art in itself.
You will need:
- Ballpoint pen(s)
- Glue
- Paintbrush
- Glitter or tiny beads
- Bowl
- Paper cup
- Newspaper
1. Make sure your pen is clean so the glue will stick to it.
2. Fill a bowl with glitter or tiny beads.
3. Take your paintbrush, dip it into the glue and coat the sides of your pen with a layer of glue, making sure not to get glue on the tip of the pen.
4. When the pen is covered in glue, dip it into the bowl of glitter or beads and roll it around until it’s completely covered.
5. Shake off any excess glitter or beads into the bowl and set the pen upright in the paper cup to dry for at least 24 hours.
6. Why not make a few to share with your friends?
Once your pen is dry you can start creating with your new creation.
Cute and pretty, but it would probably shed sparkles after a while.
Cute, pretty, festive, and creative. Nice job Ganz!
I made them with red and blue glitter for me and my sister .She loved it!I also used glitter on the caps too!
JUST A TIP FOR THE PENS: after you put the glitter on the pen and it is dry, wrap clear packing tape vertically on the pen so the pen so the glitter wont come off
cool
Very pretty but be sure to put a sealer on top so it doe not et all over.
