![]() My craft was elevated to new heights when I bought my Silhouette SD machine just over a year ago. That started the ball rolling for me and I’ve never given out any store-bought card since then which has been a joy to my family and friends. I started making cards way back in 1999 when my very close friend, Leila, asked me if I was interested in hosting a Stampin’ Up demonstration party. My sincerest thanks to Ana Carine Wedderhoff and Aj Fernandez. If anyone knows how, kindly post a comment and share :). ![]() I wonder if there is a technique in filling the text. You need to choose the ones which are very thin and with a smaller size of text, the sketch will look like the font is 'single-lined'. Most of the fonts are 'double-lined' which are not really good for sketching text. ![]() Even if I have not tried any of the pen holders being sold out there, I think I can safely say that this recycled pen holder is at par with the best ones. I created various samples for you to see how impressive the results are. It only took me a few seconds to widen the hole, it was effortless so make sure to do this tad by tad, constantly fitting the cartridge until you get the right fit. You will need to make another sketch pen for a pen with thicker or thinner ink cartridge, so one sketch pen for every size of ink cartridge that you will be using. Make sure to make the size of the hole just enough to slide the end of the cartridge through, the fit should be tight. The scissors is more manageable for me than heating a nail/screw as shown on Ana's video. I used a small pair of scissors in making the hole bigger to slide the end of the gel pen ink cartridge through. I just received the pen case this afternoon and I excitedly immediately worked on it. I told Aj to retain the ink cartridge and to just send me the case. She even sent me a sticky note pad along with the sketch pen. I shared the video on my other Facebook group, the PCA (Philippine Crafters Association) and a team member, Aj Fernandez, very kindly shared one of her Silhouette sketch pens with me and shipped it to me the very same day from the South. I never really cared for the sketch pens but this video got me so interested as I have a lot of gel pens. The very ingenious tip was shared by Ana Carine Wedderhoff on her video tutorial, Recycle Silhouette Sketch Pen. The video was posted on our Silhouette Brazil group on Facebook. I want to share a great video tutorial on how you can recycle a Silhouette sketch pen into a pen holder for different kinds of pens like gel pens, Uniball pens, etc.
