Attack of the cute! A good use for scrapbook scraps.

I am always on a mission to make even the most mundane item something fun and enjoyable to use. These right here are my absolute most favoritest (I know that's a made up word but I just get so excited) pens in the whole world. The Pentel RSVP in fine point. Ahhhhhhh so wonderful. I swear it is responsible for making my handwriting look amazing and I actually got hired at a job once because the manager said I had "really nice handwriting" - true story!


As wonderful as they write they are a bit...stark. Solely utilitarian (see? I know real words). So that combined with my ridiculous mass quantity of scrapbook paper scraps and a plan comes together! These pens easily come apart and since the main part of the pen is clear it makes the perfect canvas for my sudden "stripes and polka-dot" obsession.

My beautiful Paper Wishes scraps.

If you are going to use these same pens you only need a piece of paper that is 1 inch wide and 3 and 3/8 inches long.

I find that rolling the paper around something (like the pen insert) helps curl it up and makes it easy to pop inside.

Cute-ified!

What an easy way to use up those little paper scraps you hoard because you just can't bring yourself to throw them away. I know I'm not the only one! :)
