Get creative with your everyday stationery! With Jenna Foam Clay, you can make adorable, squishy pens that are super lightweight and fun to hold. Let’s get started on this 14-step DIY tutorial perfect for kids, hobbyists, and craft lovers!
⸻
🧰 You’ll Need:
• Jenna Foam Clay (your choice of colors)
• Pen refill (without casing)
• Sculpting tools or toothpick (optional)
• Craft glue (optional)
• Clean hands & workspace
⸻
🟢 Step 1: Choose Your Base Clay
Pick your favorite base color of Jenna Foam Clay. Roll it into a smooth, even log shape, slightly longer than the pen refill.⸻
🟢 Step 2: Flatten the Base
Flatten the clay log gently using your fingers or a roller. Keep the thickness even—this will be wrapped around the pen.
⸻
✏️ Step 3: Wrap the Pen Refill
Place the pen refill on the clay sheet and wrap the foam clay around it. Leave the nib (tip) exposed so it’s functional.🖊️ Foam clay is flexible—press gently for a snug fit.
⸻
👋 Step 4: Smooth It Out
Roll the pen lightly between your palms to smooth out any seams and blend the clay uniformly.⸻
🟣 Step 5: Add the Head
Choose a color and roll a small round ball. This will become the character’s or topper’s head on the pen.⸻
🧡 Step 6: Add Facial Features
Use small pieces of black, white, or pink clay to make eyes, nose, and mouth. Foam clay sticks well—no glue required!⸻
🟡 Step 7: Add Hair or Hat
Use colored foam clay to design hair, a cap, or even a bow for your topper. Shape and stick it on gently.
⸻
💡 Step 8: Add Arms or Accessories
Get creative! Add tiny arms, ears, or mini accessories like headphones or glasses to give personality.⸻
🧲 Step 9: Stick it Securely
Ensure all elements are pressed securely into place. Foam clay is sticky and blends easily.
🛠️ Use a drop of glue only if needed for extra hold.
⸻
🟣 Step 10: Add Details
Use sculpting tools or a toothpick to etch small lines, textures, or expressions. This brings your character to life!
⸻
🎨 Step 11: Decorate the Body
Add small decorative elements along the pen body—like stars, hearts, stripes, or buttons using contrasting foam clay colors.⸻
🧽 Step 12: Final Touches
Gently clean any excess fingerprints or marks. Lightly tap details for a soft, finished look.
⸻
🕒 Step 13: Let It Dry
Allow your pen to air-dry for 24 hours. Jenna Foam Clay hardens while remaining soft to the touch—no baking required!
⸻
🖋️ Step 14: Ready to Use!
Once dry, your pen is ready to write and wow! Use it, gift it, or display it—it’s squishy, colorful, and totally handmade.⸻
