In this video we revisit one of our first ever recycled plastic projects - pens! We figured it was time for a 2.0 version, since we've learnt a LOT about recycled plastic since then. And we also figured this would be a good opportunity to come up with a few other ways to make pens. So we've come up with 3 ways to tackle this, each with their own pros and cons. This video is a culmination of about 2 years of experience and research, so we really hope you gain something from this!

If you'd like to purchase the 'expert' pens we showed you how to make in this video, then check out our current stock of our 'Vita' pens at https://brothersmake.com/shop/p/pens. Please bear in mind that we only make these in small batches at a time so there may not always be colours in stock. Feel free to sign up to our mailing list using the link above to be notified of all pen drops.

The cheaper pen kits we used in this video came from Axminster, and the stainless steel Pratchett pen kit came from Taylors Mirfield. We will also be selling our pen blanks very soon, so you can have a go at making your own!
