We’ve outlined how to customize your beadable pens below, and just in case you need it, we’ve also got instructions on how to remove and refill your ink, as well as a size guide for how many beads you approximately need when using some of our most popular sizes! Everything is here for you - the complete ‘How-To’ for Beadable Pens!
Let’s dig in!
Making Your Customized Pen
1. It couldn’t be simpler! Take your pen, and twist off the end cap at the top of your pen.
2. With your cap removed, slide on the beads you have chosen for your design. Scroll down for a graphic that shows you approximately how many beads you need in some of our most popular sizes.
3. Screw back on your end cap and voila! That’s it!
Size Guide
Here you can see just how many beads it takes to make your beadable pen. Be sure to mix and match the size and style of beads you use to make your pen unique for you!
Replacing Your Ink
Should your ink run dry, no need to throw away your high quality pen! We have refills available for purchase and they’re a breeze to replace!
1. On the writing end of your pen, hold the metal middle section (this part twists your pen tip in and out).
2. Pull on the tapered side near the tip and your two pieces should come apart. No need to twist, just pull!
3. Holding your tapered pen tip end, twist the small black end opposite the writing tip. This will release the ink & pen tip.
Helpful tip: If your pen tip is out in the writing position, it will be hard to grab the black twisting end to your ink refill. Make sure that you have your pen tip retracted so that the black twisting end sticks out enough for you to grab.
4. Slide your new refill into the pen end and twist it in to secure. Push your writing end back into the main body of your pen.
When we sourced our beadable pens, we made sure to find the highest quality full metal pens! You can just feel the quality and difference! Looking for a beadable pen at a lower price point? We also stock plastic beadable pens!
Your pens can be customized with any of your favorite silicone beads, from rounds to accent beads and everything in between!
