Collection: Beaded Pens

Beaded pens are a fun and creative way to add some extra flair to your writing utensils. Often brightly colored with intricate designs, these pens stand out from standard pens and pencils. Their unique look matches their enjoyable user experience - providing a smooth, comfortable grip as you write. Crafting your own beaded pen can be an entertaining hands-on project. Or you may prefer purchasing premade  pens from the talented artists selling them online and in craft stores. Either way, beaded pens make writing a more eye-catching and enjoyable task.

When crafting a beaded pen, you'll need beads for our pens specifically suited to the task. Look for beads with holes large enough to accommodate pen components.

Smooth rounded beads around 5mm to 8mm work best to form an easy to grip surface. Pony beads, pearl beads, and small acrylic craft beads are all good bead options. Make sure to choose beads in colors and patterns that appeal to your personal taste. Contrasting colors and complementary shades are popular choices. The variety of beads available allows you to match colors to favorite outfits or create vivid original designs.

The other necessary component is a pen kit designed for beadwork, often called beaded pen kits. Quality pen kits have all the parts you need to assemble a working beaded pen. They come with thin tubes to string the beads onto, decorative pen tips, ink refills, and other hardware. Many pen kits also include handy assembly instructions. Basic supplies like glue and pliers may be required as well. Craft stores sell pen kits in the jewelry making aisle alongside loose beads and stringing supplies. And you can conveniently purchase kits and supplies online in bead or pen turning stores.

With beads and a pen kit ready, beaded pen diy projects can begin! First slide beads onto the pen tube, periodically spacing them out. By grouping certain color schemes together, you can create stripes, color blocks, geometrical patterns, and more. Once your beadwork is completed to your liking, follow the kit instructions to securely attach the tips, ink refill, and other pen components. Some extra glue reinforces durability. Then simply let the glue dry fully before using your new custom beaded pen!
