DIY Sparkly Pens for Kids – 3 Customizable Pens for Creative Crafting, Perfect Easter Basket Stuffers and Gifts for Boys and Girls 4-9 Years Old, Fun Art Project and Craft Kit

These were super fun and easy to make. My six-year-old had a great time making them

My Granddaughters had so much fun making these that we ordered them in pink. They are so cute when finished.

I was not there for the assembly project, my husband did it with the kids. There was apparently PLENTY of glitter. Kids (age 5 and 8) were able to mostly do this on their own, and took about 10-15 minutes. There was a little plastic bag with some of the smaller pieces, including 3 tiny little plastic bits (seen on the card in the photo) that I wasn't sure what they were for but would be easy to lose. I think these might be to re-cover the tip of the ink pen, but doesn't seem necessary.

Me and my work teammates made pens from several of these sets and had the best time!!! They give you a base to put the pen in while you work, a funnel to help you pour glitter into your pen, then 10 different ink colors to choose from, and exactly enough stoppers, pen bases, pen caps to keep the ink covered, and cute little monster toppers to make 3 pens. If you're doing this with children I would use the base but since there was only 1 in the set and 3 pens, only one person can use it at a time, so we skipped that part. I learned from other reviews not to put water in first so if you start by adding glitter then you can lay your pen down horizontally when you are ready to reach for another glitter color or do something else and the glitter won't come spilling out bc it's at the bottom of the pen's barrel. The only downside to this method is that it was hard to know how much glitter to put in because we didn't know how it would look once we added the water. All of our pens came out so great and perfect to our personalities. Just edited review to add a picture!

I picked this up for my granddaughter because she really likes projects and writing. The kit comes with 3 pens and enough sparkle material to full the pens multiple times if you want to change them up over time. The ink cartridges are small, but they provide extras in different colors. There is a bunch of hanging beads in different colors along with decorative string to hang them on. We found that using the included funnel to load the sparkles really did not work very well as they kept getting stuck in the funnel. We wound up just pouring the sparkles into the pen opening directly from the small packet and that worked great. The first pen she made had too many sparkles and it just didn’t flow like it should to show off the sparkles. To fix it, I just poured some out and added more water. We wasted a few sparkles, but they give you so many it did not matter. Overall, a really fun project and to pens write great!

got this for my little cousin who is 5 for christmas, and it was such a hit, she loved it! all the different accessories and decorations to customize your own pens are great and are super cute. the directions are clear and easy to follow too which makes it a great activity for you to do with your fave kids in your life.

As a pen collector, I actually got these to do myself, drawn to novelty of adding pens of my own design to my little collection. I'm not opposed to the odd, quirky little monster characters included as pen toppers, and I think that kids might find homework more fun using these. I've been enjoying them myself! On the downside, I am glad that I got this set for me, and not for a child. The instructions were an absolute mess. The steps are printed out of order, so if you aren't particularly scrupulous, you're likely to end up starting on step 3, which then makes it difficult to go backwards- and because of what these steps are, you'll never notice, you know? Step one is adding glitter, while step 3 is adding water. If you do the water first, the glitter will stick to the wetness outside and all along the pen and the funnel and won't make it inside. To be honest, it's not a very easy process even done the right way because static makes the glitter and sequins stick too, but at least SOME of it makes it in that way. There are also 3 pens included, but the glitter isn't resealable. So the pens not only have to be made all at once, but each STEP has to be carried out at once for all 3! Because you know, if you go through the process of making one pen and then start back at step one- you still have a wet funnel. And lastly, in case the fact that the project involves glitter wasn't warning enough, I will warn you to expect glitter to be absolutely everywhere!

Fun way to spend an afternoon. Loved putting these together with the kiddo and she loves being able to write with them after. Pens are ok, nothing too fancy. Overall, the kit is fun, easy for many ages. Happy with this. Would make a nice crafty gift
