Where are all my planner obsessed peeps at? {Raises hand}
Today I thought I would share a fun way to customize your own pens to get your planning on in style with DIY custom washi pens.
SUPPLIES:
- Ball Point Pens {with the large barrals} You can find these at Dollar Tree or Target Dollar Spot.
- Washi Tape
- Paper
- Scissors
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. First, you will want to measure and cut out a 9.8 cm x 3.5 cm piece of paper.
2. Place your favorite washi tape down covering your paper.
3. Take apart your pen and set aside the pieces. Be sure not to lose any pieces, you will need all of them to have a properly working pen.
4. Trim off the excess washi leaving a little on one side to close your washi around your pen.
5. Place your paper around your pen base.
6. Once you have the paper affixed slide the tube back on and put your pen back together.
Now you are ready to write with your favorite washi design. Whether that is white and black hearts or something to get you in a festive holiday mood. The washi tape is your oyster... or you know something like that. I hope you enjoyed this quick do-it-yourself tutorial. Let me know what is your favorite washi tape design and if you are planner crazy too.
