Description

Instructions

  1. Small step1pens

    take about a 6-8" strip of japanese masking tape and cut it in half lengthwise ( I find it easier to work with a thinner strip)

  2. Small step2pens

    begin wrapping the pen with the tape diagonally, making sure none of the pen is showing. if it gets lumpy just smooth it over--the tape is pretty pliable and forgiving (and looks just fine with a few lumps)

  3. Small step3pens

    continue wrapping (cut more strip is you need to) until entire pen is covered

  4. Small step4pens

    after your pen is wrapped, it's time to work on your dangling charm (or for a quick and easy pen, feel free to use an already made one from a cell phone strap or broken bracelet) use your eye pin to create links / connectors on your beads

  5. Small step4apens

    continue making beads with connectors until you have enough for your desired length

  6. Small step4bpens

    link them together with jump rings

  7. Small step5pens

    after you've made your charm the length you want it to be, tack it on to the pom pom with clear thread (monofilament) don't worry how you do it, it won't show.

  8. Small step6pens

    use a hot glue gun (high temperature) to glue the pom pom onto the top of the pen FINISHED!!!
