How to Create Your Rhinestone Pen
Follow these steps:
Step 1: Prep Your Pen
Start by lightly sanding the surface of your MakerFlo Crafters Gel Pen to help the glue adhere better. Wipe it clean with rubbing alcohol and let it dry.
Step 2: Apply Adhesive
Using a syringe and blunt tip needle, apply a thin, even line of SuperTite Fusion Tack adhesive in one row all the way around the pen. Working one row at a time.
Step 3: Place Your Stones
Follow the pattern from Tumbler by Renee pattern wrap as a guide. Begin adding your SS10 rhinestones in neat, even rows. Work row by row for best results.
Step 4: Smooth & Adjust
Use your wax pencil to position each rhinestone and keep your rows straight.
Step 5: Let It Cure Once your pen is fully covered and sparkling, set it aside to dry for at least 24 hours.
