Twist Ballpoint Pen Parts
This shows how the Twist Pen parts go together, and what a
finished pen can look like with your beads. Quality mechanisms and parts, 24k gold plated (the actual body tubes to be
beaded around are made of plain brass), Cross (TM) style, twist mechanism pens. Clips are All Gold. Fantastic style for home or office. The
pen is 5 1/4" long. Each section (top and bottom) to be beaded is 2 1/8"
long. The width of the recessed areas is slightly under 1/32". The
diameter of the finished pen, when using Delicas (R), is 3/8". The
clip is included, but you can leave it off to accommodate more sculptural bead
designs. The ink infill is included. Refills are standard Cross (tm) compatible ballpoint
refills available at any office supply or general discount store. Tubular Peyote stitch
forms a tube naturally, 18 Delicas(R)
around tube. Beads other than Delicas (R) can be used. Delicas (R)
make the most uniform, sleek pen. Flat Peyote stitch forms
a rectangle that you invisibly join at the seam to make a 'bead tube'. This takes approximately
600 size 11/0 Delicas (R) per section.
Loomwork, netting, etc., all make beautiful finished projects.
The 'bead tube' is then slipped over the brass pen barrels (or with
tubular peyote you can stitch right on the barrel), and glued in place with a
craft glue such as E6000 (R). Some people can stitch so tightly that glue
isn't necessary.
