Paper Clip FlatPens. READ COMMENTS Refill Info

[@LollyPalooza]

We have several comments already for where to buy ink refills. Thank you.

[@krishnarao3768]

@Lolly Palooza I too made these flat pen bookmarks 5 years ago and had the same worry about the outer plastic case after removing the refills. I have saved them for some further crafting with them. Although I haven't done anything yet with them yet. Ideas I had was using them around an empty bean can Or toilet roll to create pen stands or pencil/ marker/ stationery stand. I am from India. We used to get plain refills once upon a time but now we either get them in fused casing or in narrow straight barrels where you can remove the top and bottom end. No springs in them! The top end is triangular and can be turned into an eating along with beads! I did use the top part by inserting them in plastic waterbottles as sippers for birds but birds in India are not familiar with feeders! So that failed!

[@krishnarao3768]

@Lolly Palooza in the vertical flat pen paper clip, I'd like to suggest something from what I saw in another crafter's video on YT. Instead of making a slit for the clip at the back, she made it on the fold. She used two layers of card paper and fixed the clip on the inner folded card, but you can do in this too. Insert the clip through the slit in the fold the same way leaving the longer side out/ at the back) and the shorter side inside the folder card paper. Keep the rounded end slightly protruding through the hole and insert ribbon/lace/ cord through it before sticking the pin down. Then push the clip flush with the fold and glue it all in making sure you put some glue on the slit as well. You can tie the ribbon into a bow of just make a knot and add a dab of glue to keep it in place. The ribbon helps to remove the pen clip when needed and, also to identify it's location. I hope this helps

[@joannepeyton1654]

Hi Lolly: What a great idea! Will start making some for my journals and DIY TNs. Just a note: you can easily snip off the end of the pen where there’s no ink. That way, you don’t have to worry about the clips. You can also make shorter pens. Love that you picked up the uke. Really a fun instrument. Had a soprano then switched to a concert. Let us know how it’s going. Thank you for all your wonderful videos and tips. 💜😎🇺🇸

[@LollyPalooza]

Thanks for watching! I haven't had time to work on the uke lately! :(

[@shirleyharris1361]

Natasha from Treasure books has a tutorial called Binding journals with empty pen barrels 😊 they look pretty cool. So I'm going to make a flat pen and then decorate the empty barrel to use when I need it 😊 2 awesome tutorials found back.to back 😊😊

[@LollyPalooza]

Sorry. I just saw your comment. Yes, I saw that she has that video. :) Just a heads up -- KZbin noticed that you put a period and then no space (you wrote "back.to back") and it registers that as a website, such as a dot com. So KZbin put your comment in my spam folder instead of posting it.

[@shirleyharris1361]

@@LollyPalooza all good. Not often you get a reply 😊 thanks for the heads up, I'll be mindful of where my podgy thumbs go while writing lol, and to read the message properly before sending 😊 I've recently found one of those pens that has the 4 colours in it, I'll be pulling that apart at some stage 😁 TFS your tutorial and have a great day.

[@mikilindmark2745]

I hot glued the metal tip on a glue bottle for fussy glueing. Another tip I superglued a needle in to make a small hole punch. By filing the tips down and sharpening them I made various sizes of hole punches. Not as easy as the store bought ones, but a lot cheaper! Tips could be used as tiny Santa or snowman hats, springs as arms and legs... The barrel could be used as a holder for diy peg stamps, a center holding rod for washi tape or hot glued together to make pen holders, drawed dividers or maybe a box with a lid. Use the springs as hinges on the lid. Think building like with legos or lincoln logs (if you are old enough to know what they are.) Love from Sweden.

[@LollyPalooza]

fantastic ideas! Are you on Facebook? You should join our upcycle group and share your ideas! facebook.com/groups/UpcycledCrafts

[@bonniedubuisson7405]

WISH has refills, and in lots of colors. This is a greatidea!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you

[@mw42oakie]

Love the pens! Spray starch should stiffen that lace up. Tfs.

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you for watching!

[@heathermitchell9498]

Love, love this idea. You are great at explaining things and I love how they turned out. I have an idea for the remainder of the pen when you have taken the ink part out. You could glue the shells together, and make them as part of a bug house for the garden, that way it is being used and not going into landfills. The other thing you could do is cut them in half lengthways and use them as the edging of the journal covers, another idea is to decoupage them, then cut them up into bead size and use them as journal dangles, the same with part of the lid, then the end bit you could use as a tassel topper.

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. Great ideas. I have used other pen parts as charms. Have fun!

[@rebeccag.8780]

I'm going to make these now. I have dozens of pens from advertisers & promotions that I now have a use for. I want to add how much I enjoy & learn from watching your thought process while making your videos. Instead of everything being "ready to go", you allow us to learn & be inspired by your "let's try this" approach. Thank you for sharing your time and talents.

[@LollyPalooza]

Thank you so much! Very sweet of you.

[@sharonfowler9971]

I've never seen flat pens before love the way you made them and glazed them up! Very handy, and lovely plus useful! Perfect!

[@LollyPalooza]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@bonnieclyne5618]

So here it is 05/16/20 and I'm just now finding this awesome video! I LOVE these pens! I am SO going to make a bunch of these to give out! Thanks so much for this wonderfully cute idea! Especially with the paper clip on them! Have a terrific day. You just made my day with this video! :) Greetings from central Florida.

[@LollyPalooza]

Wonderful! So glad you enjoyed it!

[@VagabondMango]

Lol, at least you’re not as late as I am at discovering this amazing idea 😀

[@dinabaughman8731]

I just found it in December 2021!!

[@dianamay6017]

This is such a lovely idea. The springs can be used to wrap around a wire, say a phone charger to prevent it from twisting and breaking.

[@LollyPalooza]

ah! Great idea!

[@LoisPlayingwithPaper]

We did these flat pens with ribbon back in 1983 for our highschool graduating class yearbooks. I doubt the kiddos now adays even get year books or have their classmates sign them. It is funny how things come back in style again. However ours didn't have the paperclips. Totally am loving that idea! And the fabulous embellishments for the top. Wonderful tutorial! Many thanks!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you for sharing. Ribbon sounds lovely! Ooh -- or lace trim!

[@simplisticthings]

I know this was posted 3 years ago but I'm so happy I found it. What a cool idea

[@LollyPalooza]

Yes, it's still pertinent :) Thanks for watching

[@mbhughes6141]

Lolly, I truly enjoy your crafting tutorials. Thet are informative, to the point, and we can duplicate at home. Thank you for quality tutorials.

[@LollyPalooza]

many thanks for your kind words!

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

Usually make these with wedding invitation papers, once done they are enclosed with a the card and gift. I close it with the tape or glue and put the edge in to a circle punch to make the pen part round rather than the point but. They are fun and awesome. Great tutorial. Thanks

[@LollyPalooza]

sounds fun!

[@M5518-k5u]

Absolutely perfect. I've been looking for 'something' to use with my knitting patterns to a) keep track of which row I'm knitting and b) to mark off sections completed. This is just perfect! Thank you SO much. (Sorry I am years late😉)

[@LollyPalooza]

Wonderful! The video is still relevant, so you're good!

[@bobbyspapercraft]

I haven’t seen these pens made in so very long! Cool!

[@LollyPalooza]

Awesome! :) It fits so perfectly and matches my theme!

[@pattoodle]

Your videos are so well explained and demonstrated that they are easy to follow. I love this idea and will use it to add another dimension to my junk journals. Thank you!!!

[@LollyPalooza]

Thanky ou so much!

[@tamielizabethallaway2413]

now these are crazy clever! ridiculously clever! and very beautiful!

[@LollyPalooza]

aww! thanks a bunch!

[@peggydid]

This is so cool! About the lace at the top; if you will put it on with the grain the same direction as the pen, (opposite of what you did on the first one) it will be stiffer to stand up. I love this idea! Hugs!

[@LollyPalooza]

Thank you for the tip! :) And thanks for watching

[@marshahouseholder3213]

Oh My! Is there anything you cannot do? I am going to make these the ladies in my Bible Study. Thanks so much.

[@LollyPalooza]

that would be so sweet!

[@tjporphy]

Great Idea. I love the flat pens as regular pens snag and fall out of all of my journels and notepads. You should poke a hole on the fold and stick the pen tip throughthen the paperclip can go on the open end. :).

[@RMurrell31]

Love this idea: simply, stylish, sweet addition to journals, planners etc.....

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. I misplace pens, but these are always where I need them!

[@vlg8482]

These are so pretty I'm new to crafting and have never seen a flat pen. I really need to give it a go. 😊. Great tfs. I've subbed

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks so much

[@barbaranoble9748]

Such a cute idea Lolly!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you :)

[@huegotthelook]

Thank you for giving me a great idea for the promotional pens people are constantly giving my husband at work - we're both pen snobs but I feel bad just tossing them. I'm pretty sure the plastic components are recyclable, and the springs can be used for other crafts (think butterfly antennae, etc.)

[@LollyPalooza]

yup. Keep using up those little bits!

[@susanrichey6039]

I love this idea. On the fairy door one I wanted you to sandwich the bookmark in between the button and backing for some stability. I wouldn't add more beads but maybe a dangling ribbon. I love your creative process! And I must have that pink matt! ❤🤓

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you. The pink mat is from Amazon: amzn.to/34VNwiS

[@dominiquemaginot6683]

Merci c'est une bonne idée 💜

[@soccerjulie46]

Brilliant! I love the top loading clip with that fairy door. So cute!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you so much :)

[@lauravasquez169]

I have made these with dollar tree pens. Put green eyelash trim on the bird house pen the same as you did on the other paperclip. Thank you for doing this video. ☺

[@LollyPalooza]

sounds great!

[@fludrbywest3886]

Lolly what a precious idea 😍🤩✨❣️👍🏻💖

[@LollyPalooza]

Thank you! 🤗

[@analuisa1978]

This is something I learned from you and have created many times.

[@LollyPalooza]

perfect!

[@margueritepeaden3445]

I like these pens too! I can clip one to my purse notepad. That makes it even better. I loom knit and so I use the empty barrel with yarn through it to loop onto my loom. I know you can use only so many for this purpose, but it’s one of the uses I have used them for. You are just determined to make me watch your videos even if I don’t do travelers notebooks aren’t you?😀

[@LollyPalooza]

hee hee! YES I am wanting you to watch :) There are so many other fun accessories to make for these TNs :)

[@priscillathompson4813]

No problem. Good luck. I made one last night and I realize I have to reshape the bottom. Thank you again. Great idea.

[@LollyPalooza]

I imagine we could also round the bottom instead of the angles.

[@staceydailey6394]

I love this idea!!!! I will be making some of these! A couple years ago i bought some gel pens by laneco. It came with 100 pens and 100 refills for around $20. The refills are a bit thicker but smooth top to bottom and i prefer fun ink in my planners and journals. Thank you for this lovely idea! I'm subscribing today!!!

I absolutely love this idea! These are an awesome addition to any journal or travelers notebook! Wonderful! Thanks for sharing! 😊 💕

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you! They are pretty fun

[@brat8360]

This is super cute! The refills you are using you can buy on wish for super cheap (you can even get gel pen refills If you want to make coloured) Also was just thinking for the little fairy door flat pen, because it sticks up you could make a path on the front cover of whatever book you are using it on and do the front like a forest with the path leading to the fairy door or a little fairy village with the path leading to the door etc

[@LollyPalooza]

what a cute idea :)

[@paulacollins6961]

You could glitter the back. I love the flat pen journal idea!

[@LollyPalooza]

Oh, and I love glitter!

[@bettylongshore9594]

I didn't read all of your comments, but the off brand pens that are like the Bic pens are good to use for these flat pens. Also, the leftover barrels can be cut with a hacksaw and used to make boho beads. The caps can be decorated with small beads, small buttons, or sequins, etc and attached to journals as charms.

[@LollyPalooza]

lovely ideas :)

[@kimystands2946]

@Betty 8 love your ideas. I was thinking about decorating the caps with similar items and using them as spacers or charms for a creative diy chandelier. Love the idea for the barrels too. My kids suggest shooters for spit balls and blow straws for bubble paint blowing.

[@dr.amyanna9235]

Betty Longshore Betty or anyone-miss Lolly is a enabler! Lol! I am raiding my husbands office supplies. The casing that holds the ink, does it need to be flat? Or rip out the ink from a Bic pen? I know not to have the big thing on the end. That is what my husband has, and it’s too big and will not work. So it has to be flat? Or can it be round like a Bic Pen? Miss Molly I so love your videos. You crack me up when you change the subject! I do the same! Lol!😂 Help...♥️🌹💯‼️

[@KellysCreativeDreams]

Great ideas, Betty! Thanks for sharing

[@carolstern3647]

Oh my goodness !!😍😍 never seen this idea before...Brilliant !! Love it !! ..very creative Lolly..tfs...xx😍😗

[@LollyPalooza]

great! Thank you for watching :)

[@pamalapeterson5352]

Another clever idea! You continue to amaze me!

[@LollyPalooza]

Thank you! It seems to make sense to just go ahead and put the clips on the pens, as they are so much more versatile now!

[@TheRealQueenG2024]

I love this!! thank you!! I would add making a flat "cap" for the pen, slightly bigger to fit over the pen. You may have talked about it in another video. I will have to go back and watch them all!!

[@LollyPalooza]

No, I didn't discuss a cap. :) Hope you find one to work.

[@TheRealQueenG2024]

Lolly Palooza I was going to make one out of paper, like the body of the pen, just a little bigger so the pen will slide down inside it.

[@sylviasheeler1490]

Lilly have you looked on Amazon for your pen refills, they have a lot of pen refills. Or check Office Depot, staples. Good Luck! I just love watching your videos, you have gave me some ideas for some crafts that I am thinking of doing. Keep it up.

[@LollyPalooza]

It has been awhile -- I am not sure if I looked there. The majority of comments were about where to get the most CHEAP ink refills, but personally I don't want to get the cheapest, but great quality at an affordable price. :) I don't want to go through all that work of making these and have them not write well. :) Thanks for watching.

[@diannew6066]

Just found you and that's a great tutorial; but also have to tell you I love the way you did the crafter's rendition of the dog's 'look, squirrel'! Cracked me up and I do that too. And now you have me wondering how to use the top of those pens as well, lol. Liked and subbed :)

[@LollyPalooza]

[@kathyrivera435]

Brilliant idea! Love it! About your nail problem and pulling off the paper from the tape? I've seen numerous crafters use an exacto knife to get it started. Also, you asked for ideas for the rest of the pen. The spring part - I saw someone making paper clip sangles and she wrapped wire several times, which looks like a spring, then slid it to the rounded end of the paper clip, added a bigger jump ring and then attached beads and charms to that! The rest of the pen, its late and I'm tired but how about wrapping with florist tape or such and placing a flower in. If you have real flowers and it'll go in water then something waterproof. Then have them available for the rest of the boquet. Kinda sounds lame but I'll think on it! Love your flat pen idea, brilliant☺

[@LollyPalooza]

great ideas. Yes, about tape -- I have sometimes used one of those paper-piercing tools. My first inclination is to try my fingernail without thinking. :) I think I saw that same video about wrapping wire around a paper clip. I loved it. Flower pens -- whatever we use would have to be light weight, or the pen would be pretty top heavy. It's pretty light. Thanks for all the ideas and discussion.

[@stephaniejunebug8108]

[@LollyPalooza]

glad to help! :)

[@mariapellegrino4815]

Just Subscribed !! An idea for recycling springs, could we cut them individual rings for charms ? Love your pens 🤗👍

[@LollyPalooza]

I'm not sure I'd want to take the time to cut them, and they wouldn't be strong enough to hold charms. However, you could put a spring down on a charm. You could also stretch the spring out, and use it as an embellishment sticking out from a design. I also made a zombie doll and had springs sticking out of him

[@mariapellegrino4815]

Lolly Palooza thank you for taking time to reply to me. I’m going but watching your videos I haven’t seen yet. Love your work 👍🤗

[@theresa_lili]

Very clever. Those would be great for in bibles. Along with paper crafts I am a miniaturist. I build doll houses. I also create many items for accessories. My problem was reversed...what to do with the ink. Save those pen parts. I know you will need them. Thank you for sharing.

[@LollyPalooza]

Fun! Miniatures amaze me!

[@ErocasEclecticEphemera]

First i have seen...excellent idea...never would have thought of something like that...they have the pen refills on joom...very inexpensive you just have to wait a few weeks to get them

[@LollyPalooza]

Never heard of it! Thanks

[@msscappoose]

Very interesting. I've seen bulk pens on Amazon at a decent price. Keep up your BEAUTIFUL work!!

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you so much!

[@rebekahlegionsundaygirljou5543]

Really interesting idea! I know what You mean about the pens & refills though. I'll have to do a little research & get back to You for over here (UK & Europe)

[@LollyPalooza]

I was at a thrift store recently and found a large amount of empty pen cases (no ink) that had been donated. I couldn't help but wonder what the donor had done with the inks. :)

[@rebekahlegionsundaygirljou5543]

Oh Wow! Is that what gave the idea for these? Unless You saw them after You uploaded this, in which case then We all know what They did with the inks :) Everyone will start doing them now! See, I was gonna look online to order refills but when You shop online You really never know what You're gonna get until it arrives with this kind of thing. Pics on here can be so deceiving!

[@gionun8950]

Such a good idea. Also really cute. Tfs

[@LollyPalooza]

thank you for watching :)

[@JerrieLegree]

I know this was 3 years ago...and I am sure others have commented that Amazon has pen refills...$14 for 100. Love this idea! My sister does mixed Media Art...(gel printing) I sent her the video! It would be perfect for her artwork!

Some of the ink refills have tiny little "wings" toward the end. That's okay --- turn them so they'll go flat along the paper.

[@blackitten2]

Those are super awesome! Thanks so much for sharing.

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks a bunch!

[@vickiesdouns6093]

Love this idea,, how cool! Thanks!! Oh could the tops be used as well on the clips for maybe a small flower vase? A feather too maybe... you have my ideas flowing now,, lol...

[@LollyPalooza]

yes, and the pen barrels can be cut up to use as beads

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

I am a crocheter and I would use the pen shaft as a "fat" holder for my steel hooks!!

[@LollyPalooza]

nice!

[@mariakristinahawl1640]

Lolly Palooza In more detail, you'd use the hook in place of the ink cartridge, so you can "click" the hook out. no waste of the spring or any part of that shaft. I loooooooove your idea of the flat journal pens!!!!!?

[@HazelMarieAnkrum]

So cute. Could you cut off the top of the ink barrel to allow more room for decorating? Tfs. God bless.

[@LollyPalooza]

as long as there is no liquid in that tip. Not even that clear liquid above the ink.

I've seen paper beads wrapped around the narrow end of the barrel end of the pen shell.

[@LollyPalooza]

sounds nice!

[@suchatimeasthis1958]

Oh I am so loving the paperclip idea and you made yours so cute!! As far as the left over pen parts go I have seen some on KZbin making beads out of the pen tubes and they look really cute! I am trying out glue from glue gun to make a little removable tip for flat pen I will let you know if it works. Tfs :)

great idea. I'll start working with the pen tubes and see what I can do, too. A pen tip would be great as well.

I’d love to know how the pen tip is working out. Great idea! I wondered if the empty part of the ink tube could be cut off and fit over the pen tip. The new ‘cap’ could then be sealed with a tiny amount E6000/hot glue. It could be painted or covered with paper to match and see easily.

Lani Haskins I decided to try a gel pen refill tip, they come on gel pen refill when you buy them so when I replaced my gel pen I had this little plastic tip left over and it fit perfectly on the flat pen.

Louise Brown thank you for replying. I had a look at refills online to see what you mean. Some of them looked ideal.

I make boho beads and find the pen part you have no use for works brilliantly for them!

Love this , what bone folder is that please?

[@LollyPalooza]

It's a Teflon bone folder. This is as close as I've found amzn.to/2MX9IS3 without the exorbitent price that I first paid for mine.

Love these I’m totally going to tryout!

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks a bunch. Have fun!

This is great! I bought my daughter 50? 100? (Idk) refills a couple years ago, and she may have used 5. I need to raid her stash 😆😁😊 Tfs! xo

[@LollyPalooza]

yes, you do!

[@barbaranoble9748]

Cute ideas!

I have been able to get just refills on wish. You can get not only blue, black, but colored as well.

[@LollyPalooza]

thanks

Maybe you could use the empty tubes as a base to wrap ribbon around and decorate to make boho beads.

[@LollyPalooza]

Lovely! I would love to have a complete pen that's a boho bead!
