Pretty Pens!

Hi everyone!  We are in the middle of a thundersnow right now, which I've never actually experienced first-hand.  With this winter though, nothing should surprise me.

I was absent on the blog last week, but it was for good reason: the hubs and I painted our kitchen cabinets!  I hope to take some good pictures today and post about it later this week.  For today, I will show you how I turned ink pens into awesomeness.

To do this, you need a specific type of pen.  It has to unscrew at the end so you have access to the inside of the barrel.  These pens work great, and they write well too:

First, you unscrew the end...

Then, cut yourself some rectangles of pretty paper.  I think it was around 2" by 4" pieces, but measure your pen to get the exact size needed.

Then, you roll up the paper around the pen...

Slide it back in and screw the end back on.  Easy-to-the-peasy, yo.

And then, you have a whole mess of pens!  And the best part is that, since they are all pretty papers, my husband no longer steals my pens.  TAKE THAT, PAL.

Who would have thought that ink pens would bring such joy? :)

I would love it if you would follow me on Facebook, Pinterest, Twitter or Instagram!
I link up at these great parties!
