Beaded Pen and Pencil Wraps
Make a fashion statement for your pen or pencil using wire and beads.

Materials Needed:

  • Pen or Pencil
  • Colored Wire (sold with scrapbooking supplies)
  • Alphabet and Regular Beads (4mm worked well)
Instructions:
Cut about a 4 inch piece of wire or whatever length you want depending on the deisng you make. Use a needle nose plier and bend down the tip of one end of the wire. String beads onto wire to spell out a name or special word (I spell love). Once you have your beads all on the wire, clip off any extra wire leaving just enough to bend over the end so the beads stay in place. Now all you do is wrap the wire into a tight spiral around the pen or pencil.
