Maybe your hand cramps up when you're Diamond Painting. Or perhaps you're just bored with your growing collection of standard-issue double-sided pens. Whatever the case may be, it's never a bad idea to get creative with your Diamond Pen!
We asked members of the PWD Support Group to show us their most creative DIY Diamond Pens - here's some awesome inspiration for all you DIY folks out there!
Melissa Ann says, "I converted my first ink pen into a Diamond Painting Pen. Was not as difficult as I expected."
PRO TIP: Many people use old ballpoint pens when creating their homemade Diamond Pens. To minimize hand cramping, use as thick a pen as possible (the thicker the better!). Bonus points for a nice rubber grip around the outside.

PRO TIP: Fill the inside of your Diamond Pen with leftover diamonds for added flair. They sparkle in the light ✨
Sometimes a little rainbow flair goes a long way. Kristina Thompson shows us her lovely custom-made unicorn picker. This one's perfect for when you're working on a unicorn Diamond Painting! 🦄

Hey the idea of taking a picture of the canvas before I started was great. I love the idea of looking back at the empty canvas after I have completed the entire painting. It gives me a sense of fulfillment when I see the efforts which I have put in and how much work has come out of it.paint by numbers
I like the special Y shaped pen that Terry Nickels made. I would like to purchase some of them. I was unable to find her on FB. Could you help me get in contact with her?

I would like to purchase a few pens so I will be able to maybe make mine in the future. I would
Refer a arthritis one for myself and a normal pen for my granddaughter..
I would like to buy one of Terry Nichols pens for the arthritic hand, also the cost. I’m not on any web site so if she could send me an e-mail I would be very thankfiul,
I LOVE this idea! How do you make these? Do you glue the tip from your standard pen into the new pen/how does it fit in there?
I cannot find The lady who makes the pens for arthris. Is there a link?
I like the ink pens for the color
What a fun idea. You’ll be finding these pens at my house from now on. Thanks everyone for sharing.
Where can I get one of these pens please? I have carpol tunnel and arthritis. I love doing dimond paintings but find it difficult.
This is great but how do we make them?
I cant seem to find the right Terry Nickels on Facebook to look at more Y pens. Is there a link to make it easier to find her?
I like the acrylic pens # 3
Go Vikings! Ok, maybe next year… I am a die hard Viking fan so that is my favorite pen. But I have arthritis and have had surgery for carpal tunnel so would like to try the Y shaped pen. Where can we find it to buy one?
How much is the pen for arthritis hands
Love these idea for using ballpoint pens as new diamond pens but I’m not sure if you’re supposed to get the diamond pen tip off first and put that into the new ballpoint or what — a little instruction please! Thx!
Terry Nickels- if she could email me about her pen, I would love to get one of them. Those thin pens hurt my hand b/c of old fingers that cramps. Thanks!
Are you going to be selling the colorful pens
Q1….How do you straighten out a painting that has been creased in postage? It’s very hard to read the numbers & symbols on these creased areas.
Q2….what glue can you use on paintings where the glue is not strong enough to hold diamontes on the paintings?
Q3….What glue can you use on ceramics, china etc to use left over diamentes eg. China or plastic drinking mugs, HOME white signs etc?
Q4….What do you use to seal these paintings so that they can be frames without glass or frameless?
Thank you in advance for answers to my questions.
Where can I get the light panel to place under my painting? I have a pic w/three flowers and I really messed up the centers ad I removed a load of diamonds and now cannot read the correct letters to well?
How can I get a y shaped pen and how much are they?
