No glue, no mess for these pens.


ALYSSA SCHUKAR/THE WORLD-HERALD


Pens add some bling to your desk

Jazz up your desk with a glittery ballpoint pen. Of course, there's glitter involved, but it's not in the ink. And it's not glued to the inside of the pen, either.

GLITTER PEN

Supplies:

Clear-shaft ballpoint pen

Glitter in your favorite color

Piece of paper made into a funnel

Directions:

If the pen has a cap, leave it on. Unscrew and remove the end of the pen shaft; save it. Leave the ink tube in place inside the pen.

Use the paper funnel to pour glitter into the shaft of the pen. Replace the end of the pen shaft.

Shake the pen until the glitter is evenly distributed.

Difficulty: 1 star
