My daughter came home asking if I could make these and this is the first video I found. Seems so simple since I already do cups and keychains
Great job! You did sooo good with being detailed and explaining the process in full. Thank you so much!
Aw thanks so much!! 🥰
Thank you!! I was having trouble with my first try of doing glitter pens. But after watching your tutorial it helped me out alot. So Imma try it again lol.
So glad to hear that! Let me know how it goes 😁
Best video I’ve seen out of the dozens I’ve already seen. Thank you 😊

Those came out super cute!
Thank you! 😊
Another awesome tutorial, can't wait to try this, I'm such a rookie but you provide suuch awesome ideas♡🌻🤩🌻♡
Aw, you're so sweet! Thanks so much for watching 🥰
I'm new to epoxy cup- making and can't wait to try the pens. Great video! What size dowel rods do you need that fit inside the pens?
I really like your pens! They turned out great! Those "pliers" are actually called end-nips. They are like side cutters, but it's at the end. And I like how you used a rotary tool to grind down the clip nub, but use a sanding block or sand paper (around 120 grit) for the rest of the pen. Soooo much faster and easier.
Good to know, thanks!
I didn't catch if you sanded them ever- if not, would it have made a difference if you did? I've made like 5 cups, total, so I'm very new to this, but the pens look very easy! I am excited to try. Thank you for the detailed video!!
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!
They are Beautiful 😍
Thank you!

I want to make different colors but I only have black whit teal brown ivory spray paint . So I can't use acrylic paint?
What size dowel rods did you use?
You do a great job explaining in your video. I do have a question though. How are you putting the epoxy on the end of the pen with the clicker without it filling in the hole? Also, when you clean up your pen, are you sanding the bottom of the pen before screwing on the cap?
I took apart the whole pen so the clicker wasn't on when applying the epoxy, you just have to be careful when putting it on not get too much on the ends otherwise they will get filled with epoxy. I just buffed the end up with a sanding block when I was cleaning up before putting the cap back on.
I would like to try to make these pens but I do not have a cup turner. Lol
You can absolutely buy one of those cheaper single cup turners at Hobby Lobby, Michaels, or Amazon and use that. I think I've seen them for less than $35, Hobby Lobby actually has an attachment made for the pens to do on turners, maybe I'll get it and do another video to show ya. ♥️
I have a few pens that seemed like they were cured and weeks later I get a sticky spot on them. What Causes this to happen?
Hello do you what I can do if my pens do get lumps
Hello, beautiful work with the pens. I was wondering what is the work time from putting the epoxy to putting on glitter. I would love to learn the process of making the pens and tumblers and need a spinner
Hey! Thank you!! Probably 10 minutes. Start to finish (not including the wait time between the coats of epoxy of course) I'd say they take 30-45 minutes total.
HELLO! Just a quick question, how long after glitter is applied do you epoxy again??? Please help (:
Hey question, is spraying them as a base necessary or can the entire pen just be sanded down instead?
What if you do want to keep the clip on the pen?
Can I use another type of pen to make this? I can't find those ones where I live 😔
Where did you get that silver holo glitter ?! I love it ! The link you provided shows Amazon...but it shows just regular silver glitter.
I couldn't find it online so I just stuck that alternative in there but I did scan the barcode with my phone and I did get this one from Walmart.
Mine doesnt come out as smooth as yours. I may be putting to much epoxy I just dont know how to stop doing it
What is the purpose of the rotating of the pens? Great video! Now I feel like I can try to make them.
Great question! So when you put epoxy on something cylinder shaped, it needs to be rotating while it's curing so that it's smooth and even all the way around. Same thing if you see any tumbler videos where they've coated it in epoxy, they're on turners that rotate the whole time they're curing. Hope this helped. Now go make em and come back to let us know how they turn out 😁
these are awesome! can you use acrylic paint instead of spray paint?
You sure can
First of all I love them. I didn't see you sanding them before drawing the pen. I have seen ppl sanding after putting 2 layers of epoxy, is it necessary? I don't even know which method to do. Question can I put the glitter with mod podge and finished with epoxy? Thanks in advance.
Thanks! If the pens are smooth you can skip sanding. I only sand when necessary (bumps, roughness, etc). I'm sure you could use mod podge and finish with epoxy without any issues.
@@CreativelyErica thanks I just did them today. I already put the glitter with mod podge and tomorrow I will put the epoxy. finger crossed.
Your pen pattern looks bad ass!
Thank you, I love it 💖
Do you have to rotate them?? I dont have a turner but id like to try this
As far as I know, you need a turner. The epoxy will cone out all lumpy and uneven if it's not rotated while curing. Although, you might be able to use UV resin as a top coat (it cures within minutes under a UV light). Or if you're interested in a turner Hobby Lobby and Michaels both sell a single turner for $30-40 that's great for beginners and might be perfect for ya.
Tysm!!! Got my turner from micheals today!!! Wish me luck lol
How is the tumbler from there, I would love to get one too.
Could you paint it with acrylic paint if you don’t have spray paint
Absolutely
After applying the resin how soon do you do the glitter?
Immediately
Also what size are the dowell rods
1/4 inch
Silly question, do you only put one coat of glitter or two ?
Not silly at all!! I just needed one for these, but if it's a chunkier glitter you may need 2 coats.
They’re pretty. Do they have refills for when the ink runs out?
Yes you just twist the end off and put a new ink refill in, way too pretty to throw out
Where can you buy the smell good oils
For freshies? Check out the video description for that video, I link all the supplies.
Beginner question, What size are the dowel rods? 😬
1/4 inch works perfect for these!
Do you have to wear a mask if you do this outside ?
Do you have to spray paint?
Technically no. If the base color looks okay through the glitter, you're good. Or if you're putting on so much glitter that you won't be able to tell then that's fine too.
The clips twist off. Much easier
