Instructions
-
Starting at the tip of your pen just before it narrows to a point, begin to wrap the pen in washi tape.
-
Slowly continue wrapping up the pen toward the flat end, pulling tightly as you work to minimize wrinkles and creases.
-
Once you have about half an inch left at the top, hold your feather in place and use the washi tape to secure the feather to the pen.
-
If desired, break off a small piece of washi tape to cover the very top of the pen.
