Of all the videos I've watched yours was the easiest to follow. I love how this pen turned out, especially with that charm! Thanks for sharing ! ❤

[@unonati]

Great job! Thank you for making this video.

[@BLINGofBOSTON]

💙🩵🤍 Great pen pattern. FYI: the wax tool is an Amazon knock off of Crystal Ninja’s patented Katana. Her tools are top quality. Highly recommend trying them out. 👍🏾

[@jillphillips8117]

Very Nice!

[@kathybray7156]

Amazing beautiful
❤

[@ericascorch]

Very nicely done! Thanks a lot.

[@lizmartinez8070]

Awesome Great job thank you for sharing all the details👏👏👏

[@MiBolaLoca]

So glad you enjoyed it! These are so fun to make!

[@maryjanegonzales8181]

Can’t wait to try thank you.

[@elainehettinga8916]

Great video, easy to follow. But I have a question, I see only 12 rows of the stripes and you said 13 rows. Am I missing something?

[@MiBolaLoca]

The red tip of the pen makes the 13th stripe.

[@stephaniegunter520]

Im a new subbie. I love this pattern. I'm gonna try it. Great video. You were clear and concise. Thank you for sharing.

[@MiBolaLoca]

I'm so glad you liked it.

[@jayd2450]

This is so cute, I can't wait to make some! ❤

[@michellesamaniego5316]

They come out really pretty! I'm excited for you to make some too!

[@paulaayres2726]

what size toggle is that

[@yvonnecocks8271]

Where did you find the charms?

[@cbfertig94]

What size is the jump ring?

[@michelmills4830]

Where can I get the ring on top of the pen for the charm

[@woodburykim]

Beautiful job! How much would you charge for these. They are very time consuming

[@michellesamaniego5316]

Thank you! I sell them for $18.

[@sandracarrillo5150]

Can you use uv resin as opposed to the glue?

[@MiBolaLoca]

You can use UV resin. It would significantly slow down the process as you would need to let the resin cure every few stones to prevent the stones from slipping. It would also make it impossible to fix any changes in the stone placement should you need to correct the alignment.

[@serenajones340]

What is that stick thing you use too hold the pen?

[@michellesamaniego5316]

It's a dowel rod and I use sleeves and plugs. All are listed in the description box. They are very inexpensive and they work very well for me!

[@jenniferbutler6797]

What size crystals do you recommend for this pen?

[@michellesamaniego5316]

I used ss10

[@vanessaperez3170]

Do you know have to create a template pattern for these pens ?

[@Mona-eo7ef]

What size is the toggle?

[@michellesamaniego5316]

Link to what I use is in the description. Purchase from Amazon

[@ceciliadelvalle6354]

Hello what size rhinestones do you use for the pens.

[@michellesamaniego5316]

Hi, I use SS10

[@MyHat031]

Do you wear a mask while sanding?

[@michellesamaniego5316]

I don't, but it would probably be a good idea to avoid breathing in the dust particles.

[@elizabethkeller429]

Do you have patterns for your pens.

[@michellesamaniego5316]

I have created patterns for some of the designs. I don't have one for the flag, but I can make one.

[@elizabethkeller429]

@Michelle Samaniego that would be awesome. Also can you give me a measurement on the toggle ring you used to attach the charm.
