Materials

• bic biro style pen
• pink wire
• assorted beads and charms
• pink seed beads
• head and eye pins
• jump rings
• pliers, round nose & cutters
• hot glue gun and glue sticks

Step 1

Remove the inside of the pen and the plug at the other end. Insert approximately 2cm of the wire into the writing end of the empty pen then insert the inside of the pen back into place trapping the end of the wire. Begin wrapping the pen in the wire quite tightly, once the pen is almost completely wrapped cut the wire leaving a tail of approximately 20 cm. Thread on some seed beads and wind onto the end of the pen, cut the excess wire off leaving 2cm to poke into the end of the pen.

Step 2

Select a bead that will sit nicely on the end of the pen and insert a head pin into it and cut off the end leaving 1cm to bend into a loop using the pliers. Create three separate units of beads on head and eye pins adding charms with jump rings to the eye pins at the ends.

Step 3

Attach the three beaded units to the loop created on the bead for the end of the pen. Glue the completed beaded decoration in place using the hot glue.
