A plastic sheet of rounded shape is attached to the lamp. To it wire or clips are attached to the pen bodies, preferably transparent. When the work is done, the bright light from the lamp will not dazzle people around, and the whole construction makes a lasting impression.

Pens from improvised materials

Weaving the body from threads

With the help of colored threads of large diameter, a braid is woven into which a writing rod is inserted. Weaving is done by any of the known methods until the desired diameter and length is achieved.

The handle of 3D technology

The prerequisite for its manufacture is a glue gun. After its disassembly using a screwdriver, the pushing mechanism is removed and the part of the handle at the bottom is sawed off.

The diameter of the exit hole is reduced by placing a paper clip in it and fixing it in any way. It is necessary to purchase a small fan, and attach connectors to its power wires to connect the Krona battery. It is attached to the gun from below. Plastic clamps and glue are used to mount the entire structure.

Homemade gel pen

This craft is made in the same way as a ballpoint pen. A gel rod is inserted into a self-made body.

Pen - aquarium

To make such an attractive thing, you need a transparent cylinder, hermetically sealed with a pre-painted cork. A gel rod is inserted into a drilled hole in the cork. The cylinder is filled with an aqueous solution of glycerin. As the concentration of glycerin increases, the viscosity of the solution increases, and the objects inside the flask move more slowly.

Fish and foil stars, sequins and other decorations are placed in the solution. The flask is sealed and the product is ready to use.

Handle of paper

Part of a standard sheet of paper is cut so that when it is twisted, there is a bevel. The glued paper is wrapped tightly around the glue-soaked rod. The outside of the workpiece is also covered with a layer of glue. After the glue dries, the surface is painted and dried. Then it is coated with varnish to increase the service life.

It should be noted that in this design, the used rod is not replaceable and a new pen will be required.

Pen - Pencil

After making such a craft, the two items necessary for work will be combined into one. The pencil should be cut in half, sharpened with a knife to the desired diameter and inserted into the body of the pen, and then secured with adhesive tape.

Before final assembly, the rod should be shortened to the desired length. The remnants of the pencil should not be thrown away, they will be useful for the next craft.

Exclusive pens

The material for such pens can be wood or chenille wire. The wooden handle is made from a bar, having drilled a hole in it for a rod and ground to the necessary form. Then sanded, painted and varnished if necessary.

A pen for secret correspondence

The letter will have to be written with a fountain pen, as the liquid solution will flow out of the rod. Lemon juice is also used for secret writing. The paper is heated with an iron to reveal what is written.

Extending the life of pens

To restore the writing properties of a pen with an unused supply of ink, do the following:

  1. Remove the writing assembly and blow on the opposite end.
  2. Without disassembling, use your mouth to create a vacuum on the side of the writing unit.
  3. Blow on the writing node to create condensation on it. This method helps if the ink is dry.
  4. If none of the suggestions helped, you should replace the rod.
