Mini Pen!

Mini Pen!
Hey guys -- this is my first instructable, and a simple one, so be cool, honey bunny.

So. A mini pen.
As the name would imply, the aim here is to create a pen that is - you guessed it - smaller than normal.
I've done two, and i must say, it's thrilling.

Sorry about the fuzzy pictures - product of crap camera with no manual focus -- I'll be getting a new camera soon so don't fret....

**BONUS!!**
Check out the last step for a happy ending!

Step One. You obviously will need a pen.
Here's what you need:

  • A pen; the simpler the better (no moving parts). Specifically, if you're salvaging multiple pens, you need a barrel, the ink tube, and the ballpoint tip.
  • Scissors/Xacto knife/pocketknife - Something to cut with. I suggest scissors for the barrel, the Xacto for the ink tube, and the pocketknife for, erm, looking cool...
  • A Sheet of paper. Partially for making sure that any ink doesn't get on your desk (if you care), but mostly for the post-mini pen mandatory doodle.
