Pens for Beading

[srogers5]

If you like the look of a beaded pen but want one that doesn't end up as thick as an RSVP pen but you are still able to put on a cap, try Pentel's TKO pens. I think I got them at Walmart. They are just thinner RSVP's. I don't think they are thick enough to get a piece of paper into the barrel, but they will work great for beading.

Happy stamping and beading!

I have pens that are not toptally round, they are angular like th barrel of a pencil-will these work as well? What about mechanical pencils?? Thanks!

Haven't tried either of those, so I can't help there. Maybe someone else can though. Anyone care to answer?

You can bead *any* pen on the outside using O'SO Sticky Tape. (I buy all my tape and beads from Pennywise Arts, lol) I like RSVP pens the best for filling though.

OK, I know this will sound like a dumb question, but what is the difference between an RSVP pen and any other pen?

[MaryZ]

Not a dumb question at all!!

RSVP pens have a hollow barrel that you can fill with beads or you can stamp on a small piece of paper and put it in there to match a stamped journal or checkbook cover.

I'm attaching a picture of some RSVP pens I've filled with beads so you can see what I mean.

Hope that helps!!

Thanks, MaryZ! I imagine these pens can be found pretty much anywhere, right! Yet another idea to try!
