Pink Ballpointpen - tutorial by Meanae

Finally! I wanted to do this now for a long while. _{Beware, huuuuuge file =___=}

Pattern is here: [link]

I know that my english isn`t the best. LEO has helped me with some words I hadn`t in my regular vocabulary (like dilute) - if you found some mistakes, tell me them

If there is something you don`t understand, don`t hesitate and ask me. I have made that thing now two times, I know how it works.

PS: The pink bookmark of death is also in the .jpg you have to download. Pretty easy: Cut it out, glue it together, paint it. I didn`t want to make the tutorial longer for 8 words.

PSS: Show me your pens and bookmarks! I love to see others making them!

I'm trying to make this for a friend, can you more specific about whaat kind of "old ballpoint" and how to break it (did you mean snap it in half?)
Thanks!

Meanae Featured By Owner Apr 7, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

The ballpoint pen I used was easy to disassemble - I just pulled out the back with force (and broke it with that). But a normal one that you can just twist to get to the refill is good enough

Dlxia Featured By Owner Mar 29, 2013

Nice, wanna try it... But sir can you please make the tutorial on 'How to make the Death Bookmark' ?
I would really appreciate that

Meanae Featured By Owner Mar 30, 2013 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I didn't do a tutorial for it because its really easy to make

Print out the pattern (Here: [link]), cut out the bookmark sides, glue them together and color it the way you want.

mmd-to-life Featured By Owner Dec 31, 2011 Hobbyist General Artist

do we NEED the glue gun?

Meanae Featured By Owner Jan 1, 2012 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yes.
Of course you can try to do it with regular glue, but I'm not sure if that will work (Havn't tried it myself).

SkyeRowan Featured By Owner Sep 29, 2011 Student Traditional Artist

Ahem. I love you for this. "And it's pink, isn't that wonderful?" X3

Thank you

wouldnt it be easier to just color it in photoshop then print it and let it dry?

Meanae Featured By Owner Mar 14, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Easier: yes, of course. Or color the black parts via photoshop and print it on pink paper.

But you nevertheless have to paint something - the dried hot glue in the gaps. I dunno how it will look, when you print everything else and paint these with acrylics.

TheDarkwoodsCircus Featured By Owner Mar 14, 2011 Student General Artist

well then i guess i'll have to try it. Lol id totally make like 5 of these and use em at school Then my best friend would be like

because that would just add more things proclaiming my Undertaker love lol besides me doodling the Undetraker all the time XD. Also at the beginning what do you mean when you're talking about the pen? Are you saying you break the in kthing on the inside and cover it with a drop of hot glue?

Meanae Featured By Owner Mar 14, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Lol xD I can`t use them regularly (besides conventions) because they are to long for my schoolbag...

What I meant with "break" was simply removing the triggerthing, which you normaly press to be able to write at all. Depending on the ballpointpen, you either have to break it or to untwist it, to get to the refill.

Understandable?

TheDarkwoodsCircus Featured By Owner Mar 15, 2011 Student General Artist

ooohh that thing! lol i take pens apprt all the time! mostly to just get their spring lol~ its fun diassasembling things... especially fetus pigs O.o you know what, you should make an undertaker cookie recipe...or I should...hmmnnn

Meanae Featured By Owner Mar 15, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

I really had to laugh while reading your comment xD

Actually, I AM baking untertakers bone-cookies. They are delicious xD People tend to looking at my as if I am crazy or something, when I eat them. Lol.

TheDarkwoodsCircus Featured By Owner Mar 15, 2011 Student General Artist

id take them to school and eat them lolz
if i ever go to a con and pp lsee me eating them they're like, can i have one? id take a fake one from the bottom and give it to them like i plan on make 24 of them, 12 that have a taste and 12 that are prob just flour and water lol because id want to snack on my own thing that i made XD btw do you have the recipe for them? id loooovee to make them from cratch or soemthing~

Meanae Featured By Owner Mar 17, 2011 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Found it again

You need:
400g wheat flour
100g starch flour
1/2 packet baking powder (the small ones)
200g sugar
1 packet vanilla sugar
100g grated walnut (or hazelnut)
2 eggs
250g margarine

Easy instructions - mix everything. Then let it rest for 30 minutes. After that you can roll it out and use the biscuit cutter. Everything needs to be baked at around 160°c. Tadaa!
