Finally! After two other videos, someone actually picks it up and makes a mark with it. Hmm, I’m not sure, after seeing her use it that I’m really needing a flat pen. I think I’ll stick to a loop that keeps my pen secured at the edges of the pages between the covers. They sure are cute though, and as she said, ok for a quick note.
Hi Tracie. I will be making 2 of these to put in my grand children's Journal box. I bought a plastic box yesterday and will be spending the next however many weeks till I see them adding things. Hugs xxx
Love your pens Tracie. Not sure if it would work for you but as I am a professional cake decorator of 40 plus years in business, I’ve always had to find quicker and better was of doing things. There is a pad that I would use for putting wire into icing for petals, leaves ect. It was a hard sponge pad with a small gutter in it. I would lay the icing down, then the wire and then another piece of icing on top. It was joined together with sugar glue, and I would use a small rolling pin over the top to press it together. You may be able to use a similar process using paper and glue. I am retired now as I’m 64 and have started art as a hobby to keep active. I am loving what you do. 😊🤗
I love your twist on the original of adding a grommet and cute dangles for extra decoration and to make it easier to find your skinny little pen among all the other paper clips in your JJ! If you do forget to sandwich a paper clip in the pen-paper you could always glue a decorative ticket or other paper bit on a paper clip to the front of your paper pen for even MORE texture, decoration and doo-dads! I love your videos, Tracie
I absolutely love the pens! Simply brilliant! 💞Thank you for sharing the idea!! Btw if you put the garment pin in the eyelet first then the charm it should be easier to get the charm facing the right way. 😊
Tracie I made one yesterday but I used the plastic one I borrowed from a pen. I also coated it with tombo adhesive runner and it stuck well then I mod podge it it made it much longer
Hi Tracie....I was yelling at you to stick your paperclip in before you glued but you didn't hear me. lol. Very clever to fold the paper and punch the hole for the pen tip and I love the addition of the eyelet, bulb pin and charm. I always get my charms on backwards too and I can't seem to learn how to get it right the first time. Love the boho bead addition. Very fancy.
Sorry I didn't mention you hun. Jessica told me where she got the idea and I added you to the description. You do have some fab ideas :-D Thank you xxx I wish I heard ya but I kept going, made enough good ones for the journals LOL xxx
Thanks for the share Tracie, my daughter is off disassembling pens as I type to make these for a back to school pressie for her teacher and class friends 🤗
Love the new intro! I made the flat pen awhile back after watching Paula's tutorial. I love the twist you put on it by leaving the hinge at the pen end! Also, when I left you last, you were worried about you roof leaking during a storm. Hope the repair held!
This is wonderful Thanks for showing your take on it.. Love it my 10 year old Granddaughter just purchased At glance planner at office supply store with her allowance 25.00 dollars Really Crazy expensive.. To cool for a Handmade TN by Grandma LOL she will love making these. TFS
I first saw these when Shelley from crafting mamas did them and made them look like feathers!! Her videos are kinda long sometimes but I will link it so you can fast forward and see them! The feathers would be perfect for these journals. They are great as is, but feathers would be really cool too
Love these beauties, Ms. Tracie! Each one unique! I suppose you could always make a pocket or tuck spot for the ones without the paper clips. I have been making boho beads using the outside of the cheap stick ink pens--and know I have a use for all the actual inner part of the ink pens themselves...LOL. Thank you!
Its empty. I do it all the time LOL. I emptied it before I filmed. It worked better when it was full LOL. I just need to do that tin foil thing and sharpen. Works great on thinner paper, just not the thicker stuff xxx Thanks for watching xx
2 comments: “If you want a paper clip pen, you have to put a paper clip in it.” That made me laugh while drinking my coffee this morning! I love that you laugh at yourself. Great attitude. When I use garment pins, everything goes backwards for me, too. I thought it was just me. They’re so cute that I keep trying! Have a happy day!
These are just lovely Tracie!!! I saw Lollypalooza do them, but these are cuter!! When I make some I think I might cut the paper to look like a feather! A Love the intro and you are absolutely adorable!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Tracie, if You get time or think about it sometime--- Could You tell me how in the world to get all my pages at the same height and width. I so struggle with this. I have a glass cutting board coming and a stainless steele ruler. Awesome cute little pen for the journals! TFS! Judy
I will do another video as I am cutting down the last of the Childrens book kits to make journals instead. I thought it was in the last preparing a signature but I may noy have done that. Do you have a paper trimmer? My advice, do not use your glass matt for cutting on, apparently you need a cork back ruler. My metal ruler slides everywhere and I have had a few damaged fingers because of it. Message me with anything huni, I will put out a quick vid later today. Is still 5am so a bit early to record now...LOLxxx
First ... LOVE THIS ... need to make some TODAY !! Next... Possibly someone else commented on this .. and, full disclosure I have not watched the rest of the video... BUT, the one you forgot to put the paper clip in... Couldn't you just glue and additional piece of paper with the clip sandwiched between... Anyway.. back to the video.. Such a darling project and I do LOVE IT !!! : D
Super cute idea, Tracie!! I am definitely going to give these a try!! I may just make one to go inside of my "Tracie Fox original lilac color canvas wrap journal" that arrived recently! :-)
Yes for sure...I stuck one in my shopping list TN. I had a mare with a fountain pen once when shopping. Never again!!!! I got in a right muddle as I ran out of ink. LOL, I am a creature of habit and without being able to cross things off, it was chaos. LOL xxx
Seen these pins made before,,, but your pens are very pretty,, loved the paper you used & how they are decorated!! Must give this a try. What is the name of the tool used you used for making the hole and attaching the brad to the card ? TFS
Love the paper you used for the pens. Do you remember the name? Adding the charm and boho beads really took it up a notch. Thank you for that fab idea!!! LOVE the intro Tracie!!!
Leck mech an der tesch!!! You’re intro advert was about how to kiss or react to a guy kissing you.......this tutorial better be good Boss😂😂😂😂 I know you no influence but, geez!!!! I can’t stop laughing 😂 So now I’m going to try to calm down enough to watch your video STYL
Adding the garment pin and a charm was just darling. I love it. Thanks so much!

What a great idea and as flat as it is , it could slip into a pocket of a journal too!...How compact!!... for writing on the go!
Love your pens Tracie.

Fun idea! I did see others do them, but your take is quite creative...and always fun to watch!
Thank you xx
I love the pens sure a great idea, instead of rummaging around in your Bag for a pen. I got my chuckle for the day lol.
LOL thanks Ann x
How cute! Reminds me of a feather quill. I may try cutting one out in the shape of a feather and see how it works.
Oh I think I have seen Pink Poodle do that. Way back x Cool idea. You can get those awesoms scissors that make multiple cuts too xx
I love your twist on the original of adding a grommet and cute dangles for extra decoration and to make it easier to find your skinny little pen among all the other paper clips in your JJ!

Ah thats a cool idea, thanks. I made several more so got enough with clips for my journals LOL. I will not pretend I didn't forget the one LOL xx
You were honest- you forgot...but there are no mistakes, only happy accidents, right?
LOL yes I can paperclip it on but someone said they use ribbon (at the top of comments) so I may add a littl lace trim tab :-D xx Bookmark pen! LOL xx
OH, YEAHhhh! Lace on the top for a Bookmark Pen! That is even better! Do you ever sleep? lol...
Not much. Up at 4am :-D xxx LOL
How fun to come across this tutorial! Thanks for sharing! Hugs ❤
You are so welcome!
I absolutely love the pens! Simply brilliant! 💞Thank you for sharing the idea!! Btw if you put the garment pin in the eyelet first then the charm it should be easier to get the charm facing the right way. 😊

Very cute idea. They are excellent for journals. Well done you.

Have a happy day!
Its so good to hear other people have the same issue! No matter how I do it, alwasy the wrong way lol xx TFW xx
Great idea for pens that the outside casing is busted or cracked.
This is a great idea! Love it 😍 could be a great little gift to add with a journal 💓
Always amazed at the ideas!😉
awesome idea very creative
Oh I love this, I'd been considering ways to add a pen but this is just wonderful. Thank you!! PatriciaD

Love the intro and you are absolutely adorable!! Thanks so much for sharing!
Yes, someone said that and then I remembered I think Pink Poodle may have done it. Digging in the depths of my memory LOL xx
What a great idea xx tfs
Tracie, if You get time or think about it sometime--- Could You tell me how in the world to get all my pages at the same height and width. I so struggle with this. I have a glass cutting board coming and a stainless steele ruler. Awesome cute little pen for the journals! TFS! Judy

Yay, glad it arrived safely :-D xxx
Lovely idea can’t wait to make some tfs I have subscribed 💐
Welcome to my channel huni. I hope you enjoy it xx
Do you think you could put the paper clip into the inside of the pen so you don't loose it?
Again, you have taken an already great idea & made it better, like I said Genius!!! That's your new middle name Tracy Genius Fox lol.
Hehehe...Can I please be Tracie Fox, LOL There is nothing genius about me! Paula F is the genius here xxx
Very cute
Such a cool idea :) Thanks for sharing!
Genius idea!!!
Very cool!!🙋🏻♀️😍😘💕 tfs
I like your scissors, I haven’t seen that color before......they aren’t Tim Holtz are they? Love these little pens, soooo cute.
Hi, They are from XCut. Cheaper :-D xx
Love the way you folded the paper! I think the original idea came from Paula Foerder...
Ah I thought you said you got the idea from someone, but I got it from you :-D Thank you so much Hun. xxx
I just edited the description to mention Paula. xx
LOVE it! (For those non-fountain pen moments)! ;-)
Yes for sure...I stuck one in my shopping list TN. I had a mare with a fountain pen once when shopping. Never again!!!! I got in a right muddle as I ran out of ink. LOL, I am a creature of habit and without being able to cross things off, it was chaos. LOL xxx
You are so darn creative!!
As are you Jessica :-D xxx Loved your fairy journal page :-D xx
Seen these pins made before,,, but your pens are very pretty,, loved the paper you used & how they are decorated!! Must give this a try. What is the name of the tool used you used for making the hole and attaching the brad to the card ? TFS
Hehehe, Its an pokey tool, seriously, thats what this one is called but they are called Awls xxx
Lol 😂,,, I should have said the one that looks like a stapler I think it was blue?
Doh...Its me, not you. It is the We are Memory Keepers Big Bite 2 xxx
Love the paper you used for the pens. Do you remember the name? Adding the charm and boho beads really took it up a notch. Thank you for that fab idea!!! LOVE the intro Tracie!!!
Mullberry Kisses huni xx It is a Range, brand First Edition x
Thanks Tracie!!
~ So Lovely Tracie ~
Nice intro! Love the pens!
Thank you xx
What did you say the glue is called? Also is the tin foil thing, you just cut shapes out in tin foil to sharpen?
I use fabritac. Apparently you do yes :-D xx
J aime
Who made this beautyfull paper😍😍😍😍
You are delightful when you make little faux pas mistakes (opportunities).
These pens were originally given free from cancer research. They would be sent out in the mail with a dd form on their annual fund raise x
Great Tutorial...Hugs
Thank you xx
Very cute and useful! Where did you get your pens?
I thought I mentioned LOL, they are from Ali Express. I say things in my head and think I said them out loud all the time! Sorry huni xx
I wonder if you poked your hole from the outside to the inside it would look neater.
It is metal take aluminum and punch it and it will sharpen your punch.
Hi Tracie, I love these! So cute and a nice addition to a journal! Thanks for sharing. Do you happen to remember where you got the cute flower charms?
HELLO, THAT PEN WILL WRITE?
yes x
Leck mech an der tesch!!! You’re intro advert was about how to kiss or react to a guy kissing you.......this tutorial better be good Boss😂😂😂😂 I know you no influence but, geez!!!! I can’t stop laughing 😂
