I love this tutorial. I don't own anything I'd need to do this, not even the pens you start with. I do sell all of it, though, since I work in a craft store. Crochet has been my own hobby. Usually I watch videos like this so I can be better versed when helping customers who do this sort of thing, but after watching this video, I want to do this sort of thing. And now I'm running the math for what I'd need to get started. I swear, I can't take a paycheck home to save my soul. I always end up spending most of it at my store. lol
I found 3pks in my kids extra school supplies bins. Past me was looking out for future me. They were also purchased at 50-75% off, bc school had started. SCOOORE! 😂
Good Morning Jessica, Thank you so much for this tutorial. Finally got my first few done. So Fabulous! I wanted to share with you a trick I learned from your tutorial on making the key chains that worked amazing on the pens as well. I followed your advice on covering the non vinyl side of my key chain with liquid silicone so that it was protected when adding the layer of epoxy to seal the vinyl.Works like a charm!!! Well I applied the same technique to the Glittler Pens.... Applying liquid silicone to both ends so I could easily clean up any resin that went inside the shaft. Works great! I also apply the petroleum jelly to the sticks that I place the pens on. Anyways, Thank you so much! Really appreciate your videos... your art is AMAZING!
I have been waiting for this!!! If you make it look easy then I will consider it... because up till now I was a skeptic!! Thanks Jess for always providing the trending content.
You made that look so easy and that's because you have a great way of explaining things. At some point you must have been a teacher in your young life. Great video, thanks for sharing.
So excited you did a tutorial on this! Your tutorials are so easy to follow, I'm working on my pens now. I did order an attachment for my pipe that way I won't take a chance of them falling. Beautiful pens you made as always ❤
@@FlynnSistersBoutique Hello! I just started on my pens and completely forgot the spray paint. Is it necessary? Will it work without it? If it is do you have to use the same color spray paint as the glitter you're using? Thanks in advance.
I wish I would have had this before I did my pens! I totally forgot not to do the tips of the pens and messed them up😂 As always a great step by step tutorial! Thank you! ❤️
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I tried my first batch, but must've gotten some of the epoxy in the pen tube because the "clicker" of the pen now sticks. Any tricks for the end that the straw isn't in?
These are so pretty! I found a holiday pack at my Kroger. They were on sale for 6.99! And it’s a pack of 10! I was so excited I bought 4 packs but haven’t even tried anything with them
Yesssss!!! I was so excited when I saw your post yesterday. I bought a pack of these pens last week but haven’t attempted it. After watching you do it I feel like I can do it!!! Thanks Jessica for another straight forward tutorial 😘😘😘
Thanks for the videos, I've watched them all. Love your work. I'm new with all this and just have a question please. I'm trying to do the letter in Cricut to that size however for some reason don't turn out properly, get cut off or doesn't cut correctly. Can you please help me with that, give me some advice or recommendations on what I should do please. I would really appreciate it.
This is the first time I have seen pens done like this and I absolutely love them and your wonderful tutorial. I don't have a tumbler but will try without as not much resin is going on the pens. If it doesn't work, oh well, that just means I will have to make a tumbler then . One more reason I will need a cricut (?) Thank you. ☺♥
Hi would like to make these pens for gifts for teachers! Can I print on clear sticker paper and then put them on and epoxy them? I do not have a cricket!!
Flynn Sisters Boutique Thank you! I’m loving all your tutorials! Still have more to watch, but yours are so easy to follow and results are always pretty. A fan for sure! Thank you for spending your time and efforts to teach us!
Do you have to use spray paint or can you use acrylic? Paint is a spray paint literally stinks up your house and my son and I both have severe as well, so can you use acrylic paint with a paige Broggi Smile there and do it that way?
I just bought one of these pens and I was curious about how they were made. Wow! That was a cool video and I appreciate my new pen a bit more because a whole lot of work went into it! Thanks for sharing! 💜 Hadassah
They are so much fun. I was really hoping you would do this video. I want to share one thing I did. I used 3 wider rubber bands to hold the straws to the pool noodle. Than I was able to take them off and on to epoxy and do the wave etc. just a suggestion:)
When you said you applied 2 coats of the final epoxy at the the end. Did you apply one coat let dry 8-12hrs and then another coat and let dry for 8-12hrs. Or did you apply one layer wait a little bit and then apply second coat
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!
Spray painting before glitter can help in a few different ways. If your glotter is opal, it has a semi transparency to it so a base color helps it pop and a base color always helps give the appearance of better coverage without needing multiple coats of glitter to acheive that. A base coat of color can also help guide you where to place your glitter for ombres and other multicolor designs.
So pretty, I was wondering if anyone would mind sharing what size is used for vinyl decal cut on either silhouette or cricut, the oval and the wave stripes is used for crayon pens, please, my grandson is going into Kindergarten and I’d love to make some for his pre-K teachers as he moves up
Oh this is amazing... I definitely want to try it.. I would love to know how you made your shirt.. I love it and I've wanted to make some like that.. with the bleach splash or whatever it's called ..
These are so cute! I looked through your description box and didn't see it so I thought I'd ask. What are the fonts you used? Particularly the one you used for Ashley.
@@FlynnSistersBoutique Oh my gosh, I am such a dummy head. I just saw the fonts in your description and was getting ready to delete my comment. Thank you so much though! Subbing because the fact that you actually respond, even though you have a ton of followers, is such a plus for me when following channels. Thanks again girl! Sorry for my dingus moment. 😉🥰🤍
I'm a newby to all this exciting stuff and I'm trying to figure out how the lettering works. What software do you use? Printer? Etc. Love all of your tutorials by the way! Huge fan!
Ok - is there anywhere to get the inkjoy pens for less than a buck a pen? That seems like a lot. Or.....is there an alternative brand that is just as high a quality as the InkJoy?
You can check sitesnof craft or tumbler vendors. Alternatively, buying in bulk and cutting out the middle man via an ali baba type site. I havent used them so I can't attest to their quality.
Can you please tell me the purpose of the mechanical roller? Does it help the resin dry quicker? I'm new to crafting and am still learning how to craft with epoxy resin.
Since we're applying resin onto something round, if we don't keep it turning in motion while the epoxy dries, it will all just drip off the pen. So we turn it until it's dry :-)
& do you know what refills work with these pens? If I were to make some (I want to do so ASAP) I’d like to know what refills work for myself and customers too 😍
Well, I definitely want to order a beach pen from you. I thought I already posted on here but now I can't find it. Please let me know how I can order. Thanks!
Straws are a great idea! Or #2 pencils. Instead of wasting tape when taking to the noodle, you can either use like 2 or drill holes into the noodle so you can stick the straws/pencils into them. :)
Something I love about you. You get right down to business and don't talk incessantly. Thank you

You can use acrylic paint, it just takes longer to dry and less coverage. But it’s not a problem
Og my gosh. So simple yet so unique. Great gifts for biz owners with their names on them or web page. 💓🙌
Yes definitely!
How fun these will be. 🤩👏 Thanks girlie.
Perfect timing! My pens arrived today!!
Yay! Have fun!

Thanks for making this, I’ve been wanting to do something other than tumblers!!
This was a great tutorial. I'm in the process of making some now. I'm using Brite Tone instead of Epoxy. I'll let you know how it turns out.
Thank you

Hi! Thank you for this tutorial! Do you leave that rubber grip on the pen? I didnt see you remove it so curious if it causes any issues?
I remove the clip and sand the rest of the pen tube then paint.
Nailed it! Love all of your videos, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Is having them rotate needed? Or can I just let them dry on the box rack? Thanks. Excited to try these
They have to spin otherwise, the epoxy will drip
Do these have the rubber on them?
Oh this is amazing... I definitely want to try it.. I would love to know how you made your shirt.. I love it and I've wanted to make some like that.. with the bleach splash or whatever it's called ..
Thank you ☺️ I got my shirt from Stacy’s Tumbler Shack
Can you use acrylic paint for the base?
You can. Any water based paint.
Can you use acrylic paint instead of spray paint?
Yeah the coverage just won’t be as good and it takes longer to dry.
Love....these are beautiful and oooh that leopard 🔥🔥
Thank you so much ☺️
Hi, can you decoupage paper on the pen before glitter and epoxy?
Thanks

Hi Jessica, what type of spray paint do you use? Like a primer and paint in one? Guessing I need a matte finish paint?
Rustoleum paint + primer yes 🙌
Well, I definitely want to order a beach pen from you. I thought I already posted on here but now I can't find it. Please let me know how I can order. Thanks!
Approximately what size did you make the name decals do you remember? Thank you in advance
I go over that at 11 minutes and 27 seconds. You can see all the sizing for names and leopard spots as well.
Straws are a great idea! Or #2 pencils.
Instead of wasting tape when taking to the noodle, you can either use like 2 or drill holes into the noodle so you can stick the straws/pencils into them. :)
Great tips! Thank you ☺️
Watching again b4 I try my 1st pens. I use 2 strong rubber bands.
