My first attempt was not very successful but after a second try (and a little encouragement from my cat Maevis) I had better luck. All I needed to do was press the grey side of the foil sheet into my writing and pull it off. As you can see, the glue comes out blue and dries within a minute to clear. IвЂ™m the kind of person that always reads the instructions to the end before starting a project so having a video guide appealed to the rule follower in me. You can really see the difference in brush sizes between this monthвЂ™s two pens.Д«efore testing out the glue pen and foil sheets together, I watched the subscriber-only tutorial. I love the color options included, particularly the shiny leopard print. In order to use the foil sheets, no heat is required, and you can use the included glue pen and simply have to rub the foil to transfer. This packet came with five different color options, two sheets of each. Ranger Celebrate Foil Sheets - Retail Value $5.99 (found here for $5.39) I found there to be some inconsistencies in how the glue comes out but if you write slowly it is very manageable. After a minute or two of drying, the glue turns clear and can then be used for things like the included foil sheets or temporary bonds. When the glue first comes out it is blue and can create a permanent bond, for things like gluing photos into scrapbooks. This gives you much greater precision than using a glue stick or bottle because itвЂ™s as easy as writing! The Sakura Quickie Glue Pen lays down glue with a. I didnвЂ™t realize the pen world included glue pens. Sakura Quickie Glue Pen - Retail Value $2.30 This Zebra Brush pen ink still shimmers when dry but feels more like a warm brown than a shiny bronze when used on white paper. Personally, I find metallic ink pens are always a bit disappointing because once the ink dries they almost never look as rich and shiny as they did when wet. With a medium-size pliable tip, this brush pen really feels almost like a paintbrush when youвЂ™re using it. Zebra Metallic Brush Pen in Metallic Bronze - Retail Value $2.99 I personally love how narrow the barrel is because it feels elegant to me. The royal blue color is very rich and the petite nib still allows for a good amount of stroke size variety. Marvy Le Pen is an all-time favorite of mine so I was excited to try this Flex version, which has a small flexible tip.
