Here's a brilliant ways to turn boring old, broken and chewed up pens like these...
|
|
...into these - totally transformed Pukka Pens!
|  |
 |
 |
 |
To make one all you need is a bit of oven bake clay, a skewer and an old pen.
|
|
Start by rolling the clay into a ball.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
Then push the skewer through the middle of the clay.
|
|
Roll the clay into a sausage shape until it's about the same length as the inside of your old pen.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
For a stripy tiger effect put some small bits of oven bake clay onto the sausage.
Push the little bits into the clay and keep on rolling.
|
|
Keep the sausage of clay flat on a surface and pull the skewer out.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
Before you pull the skewer all the way out, close up one end so the pen won't slide out.
|
|
Pull the rest of the skewer out. Then transfer the clay to a baking tray and bake it according to the instructions on the packet.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
When it's cooked and cooled down you could add a coat of clear varnish.
The easiest way to do this is to put the skewer back in the hole and paint on the varnish.
|
|
Push the skewer into some modelling clay and leave it to dry.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
You could decorate the pen by sticking on some jewels with PVA glue.
|
|
When it's dry slide in the inside of your old pen. And your pukka pen is finished.
|  |
 |
 |
 |
You can make other designs by using different shapes of oven baked clay pushed into the side.
Take a look at this dalmatian one.
|
|
Or jazz up your pen by adding a flower after the pen has been baked. Pukka!
