follow photos show how i make my yarn pen
1) i ve only used 100% cotton multi color yarn,, test the yarn with thin ca,, you may get a little 'smoke' if yarn does not melt is ok..
2) put a drop on thin c/a on wax paper, dip the end of the roughed tube and lay the yard on the edge of the tube
3) wrap the yarn down the tube, no glue
4) i coat the end of a file with petroleum jelly so the c/a tube wont stick
5) slowly drizzle thin ca over the yarn,, be sure to have plenty of ventilation ,
dont let the tube touch an thing . i let mine dry overnight, this has one 'heavy coat of ca
6) turn mostly smooth, wet sand with 400g, i then apply 3 coats of thick ca
7)wet sand with micromesh polish with plast x
thanks for looking,, i sure there;s many ways to make these,,
