How to transform any pen into an awesome LEGO character

LEGO is awesome, but a LEGO pen is even more awesome !!!!!

yay, my pen is now my favourite LEGO character :)

This project uses a tiny amount of sugru, so it's a good one to do with left over sugru from another project... You can make several LEGO pens at the same time, they are super quick and easy to make :)  

LEGO heads, sugru and the LEGO stud all ready for the project

1: Get a tiny piece of sugru (about the size of a pea) and make a small sausage.

2: Insert one end into the hollow of the round stud lego piece. Press in until it fills the hole.  

3: Make the end of the sugru into a mini pyramid with your fingers. (This will help you get a good bond in the next step)

4: Press the sugru point firmly onto the end of your pen to get a good bond.

5: Make sure the LEGO piece is nice and straight. Finally, gently press the sugru around the edges to get a nice surface finish.

6: Leave the pen to cure overnight before popping your LEGO heads on :) you can prop your pen up with some tape.

TOP TIP: If you find that sugru is sticking to your fingers, just give them a quick wipe with dry tissue paper, works a treat :)

TIME TO HAVE FUN Once the sugru has cured, you can attach whatever lego head suits your mood. Experiment with different characters, hairstyles and hats. Enjoy!

May the force be with you :)

Harry Potter was not pleased about something !!!!
