What you do
Using as little glue as possible, place a very thin bead of glue near the
tip of the pen and up about 1" on to the barrel. Starting near the tip, wrap
yarn tightly around pen without leaving any gaps. Add more glue as you go.
You can change yarn colors but it is much easier to use multicolor yarn.
When you reach the end, trim and secure with a little dab of glue. Cut three
12" pieces of yarn. Knot the three pieces together near one end. Braid and
end with another knot. Glue on pen end.
Add additional braids if desired. Your can also add pony beads or alphabet
beads.
