Hi

I was asked to make a number of pens for my Ukelele playing friends and this is what I came up with.
I had searched the net to try and get some clips with Guitars or Ukeleles and came up zilch.
So I managed to acquire 20 litle guitar / ukuleles and decided to make my own.
They have all gone and still making some more.

Hi
Thanks for the comments.
I scored the backs of the guitars and also the pen clips and used epoxy resin to secure.
These were actually earings as that was all I could find small enough and quite inexpensive,
all I had to do was remove the fixing loop and grind it with my dremmel.

Regards

Fred
