I love this tutorial. I don't own anything I'd need to do this, not even the pens you start with. I do sell all of it, though, since I work in a craft store. Crochet has been my own hobby. Usually I watch videos like this so I can be better versed when helping customers who do this sort of thing, but after watching this video, I want to do this sort of thing. And now I'm running the math for what I'd need to get started. I swear, I can't take a paycheck home to save my soul. I always end up spending most of it at my store. lol
I found 3pks in my kids extra school supplies bins. Past me was looking out for future me. They were also purchased at 50-75% off, bc school had started. SCOOORE! 😂
Good Morning Jessica, Thank you so much for this tutorial. Finally got my first few done. So Fabulous! I wanted to share with you a trick I learned from your tutorial on making the key chains that worked amazing on the pens as well. I followed your advice on covering the non vinyl side of my key chain with liquid silicone so that it was protected when adding the layer of epoxy to seal the vinyl.Works like a charm!!! Well I applied the same technique to the Glittler Pens.... Applying liquid silicone to both ends so I could easily clean up any resin that went inside the shaft. Works great! I also apply the petroleum jelly to the sticks that I place the pens on. Anyways, Thank you so much! Really appreciate your videos... your art is AMAZING!
I have been waiting for this!!! If you make it look easy then I will consider it... because up till now I was a skeptic!! Thanks Jess for always providing the trending content.
@@FlynnSistersBoutique Hello! I just started on my pens and completely forgot the spray paint. Is it necessary? Will it work without it? If it is do you have to use the same color spray paint as the glitter you're using? Thanks in advance.
So excited you did a tutorial on this! Your tutorials are so easy to follow, I'm working on my pens now. I did order an attachment for my pipe that way I won't take a chance of them falling. Beautiful pens you made as always ❤
You made that look so easy and that's because you have a great way of explaining things. At some point you must have been a teacher in your young life. Great video, thanks for sharing.
I wish I would have had this before I did my pens! I totally forgot not to do the tips of the pens and messed them up😂 As always a great step by step tutorial! Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I tried my first batch, but must've gotten some of the epoxy in the pen tube because the "clicker" of the pen now sticks. Any tricks for the end that the straw isn't in?
Yesssss!!! I was so excited when I saw your post yesterday. I bought a pack of these pens last week but haven’t attempted it. After watching you do it I feel like I can do it!!! Thanks Jessica for another straight forward tutorial 😘😘😘
Do you have to use spray paint or can you use acrylic? Paint is a spray paint literally stinks up your house and my son and I both have severe as well, so can you use acrylic paint with a paige Broggi Smile there and do it that way?
I just bought one of these pens and I was curious about how they were made. Wow! That was a cool video and I appreciate my new pen a bit more because a whole lot of work went into it! Thanks for sharing! 💜 Hadassah
Hi would like to make these pens for gifts for teachers! Can I print on clear sticker paper and then put them on and epoxy them? I do not have a cricket!!
These are so pretty! I found a holiday pack at my Kroger. They were on sale for 6.99! And it’s a pack of 10! I was so excited I bought 4 packs but haven’t even tried anything with them
If you line the inside of the pen shafts with tape (any kind, really) before you start with the epoxy, that should cut down on needing to use chemicals to clean up. I do this for when I spray paint a base layer onto cups, so the inside isn't painted, nor the inner lip/top edge. Great video!
This is the first time I have seen pens done like this and I absolutely love them and your wonderful tutorial. I don't have a tumbler but will try without as not much resin is going on the pens. If it doesn't work, oh well, that just means I will have to make a tumbler then . One more reason I will need a cricut (?) Thank you. ☺♥
Straws are a great idea! Or #2 pencils. Instead of wasting tape when taking to the noodle, you can either use like 2 or drill holes into the noodle so you can stick the straws/pencils into them. :)
When you said you applied 2 coats of the final epoxy at the the end. Did you apply one coat let dry 8-12hrs and then another coat and let dry for 8-12hrs. Or did you apply one layer wait a little bit and then apply second coat
I have a genuine question. What is the purpose of spray paintint the pen if you cover it with glitter? I've seen this done for tumblers and have always wondered if there was a reason to spray paint even though you are covering the entire item in glitter. I really would like to know! Thanks!
Spray painting before glitter can help in a few different ways. If your glotter is opal, it has a semi transparency to it so a base color helps it pop and a base color always helps give the appearance of better coverage without needing multiple coats of glitter to acheive that. A base coat of color can also help guide you where to place your glitter for ombres and other multicolor designs.
Flynn Sisters Boutique Thank you! I’m loving all your tutorials! Still have more to watch, but yours are so easy to follow and results are always pretty. A fan for sure! Thank you for spending your time and efforts to teach us!
Thanks for the videos, I've watched them all. Love your work. I'm new with all this and just have a question please. I'm trying to do the letter in Cricut to that size however for some reason don't turn out properly, get cut off or doesn't cut correctly. Can you please help me with that, give me some advice or recommendations on what I should do please. I would really appreciate it.
They are so much fun. I was really hoping you would do this video. I want to share one thing I did. I used 3 wider rubber bands to hold the straws to the pool noodle. Than I was able to take them off and on to epoxy and do the wave etc. just a suggestion:)
I’m soo glad you did this video!! I just bought my first pack and you reminded me I already have straws so I don’t have to go buy pencils or wood dowels. 😄
Something I love about you. You get right down to business and don't talk incessantly. Thank you
thank you so much!

I would too if I worked in a craft store!
I found a whole pack of these pens in my husbands pen stash yesterday so I took them! What he doesn't know will not hurt him!
Lol get it girl!! Have fun!
I found 3pks in my kids extra school supplies bins. Past me was looking out for future me. They were also purchased at 50-75% off, bc school had started. SCOOORE! 😂
I always say - if it ain’t nailed down, it’s yours! Have fun!

Do you have a cup turner suggestion??
MH Turners are great
Cannot wait to try these. I saw another tutorial that did a pen with a Gypsy Leopard swirl design...made me think of you. Thank you for the tutorial!
Oh how fun! Thank you for watching 😍
Not sure if this has been asked but can we use acrylic paint as the base as well?😊
As long as it is water based acrylic
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I tried my first batch, but must've gotten some of the epoxy in the pen tube because the "clicker" of the pen now sticks. Any tricks for the end that the straw isn't in?
Does putting them on the turner help them look better or is it a required step? I’m wanting to make some pens but I don’t have a turner.
If you don’t keep them turning as the epoxy dries it will all just drip off
Thank you very much! You have such a sweet teaching spirit.
Thank you 😊
They turned out super cute!!!
Thank you ☺️
I absolutely loved watching this video. You are so talented at everything you do.
Thank you so much!

You can use acrylic paint, it just takes longer to dry and less coverage. But it’s not a problem
I love doing these, they are so much fun!
That is very fascinating very interesting too.
Thanks ☺️
Can you use acrylic paint instead of spray paint?
Yeah the coverage just won’t be as good and it takes longer to dry.

Fabulous as usual Jessica😍
Hi would like to make these pens for gifts for teachers! Can I print on clear sticker paper and then put them on and epoxy them? I do not have a cricket!!
Yes you can but it won’t show up very well on certain colors
These are so pretty! I found a holiday pack at my Kroger. They were on sale for 6.99! And it’s a pack of 10! I was so excited I bought 4 packs but haven’t even tried anything with them
Awesome!
Can you use acrylic paint for the base?
You can. Any water based paint.
Og my gosh. So simple yet so unique. Great gifts for biz owners with their names on them or web page. 💓🙌
Yes definitely!
They are so cute!! Great job as always!

You're so welcome!
Straws are a great idea! Or #2 pencils.
Instead of wasting tape when taking to the noodle, you can either use like 2 or drill holes into the noodle so you can stick the straws/pencils into them. :)
Great tips! Thank you ☺️
Watching again b4 I try my 1st pens. I use 2 strong rubber bands.
This was a great tutorial. I'm in the process of making some now. I'm using Brite Tone instead of Epoxy. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thank you
These are beautiful, what type of printer do you have for your words and cheetah print?
Thank you. You can find my printer in the description box under my amazon link.
Omg and I just bought molds thank you Jessica
Thank you ☺️
Thanks for making this, I’ve been wanting to do something other than tumblers!!
Nailed it! Love all of your videos, thank you

What size are you cutting the name at? Should be about 1/2” tall. You might be making your letters a little too small

Can I ask how do you do this if you don't have a turner 😢😊
You can place a rod inside the ylindet of the pen and yurn it by hand until the epoxy is cured enough.. few hours
Thank you for another great tutorial. I can’t wait to try these.
Thank you for watching ☺️
Amazing Flynn thanks hun for the turtorial
Thank you ☺️
Hi! Thank you for this tutorial! Do you leave that rubber grip on the pen? I didnt see you remove it so curious if it causes any issues?
I remove the clip and sand the rest of the pen tube then paint.
Can't wait to try this.....
Hope you enjoy
These are gorgeous!!! Thank you.
Thanks for watching!
First epoxy coat we run for eight hours then the second one for another eight hours?
Depends on your type and brand of epoxy.
