These pens are alright. They could be a bit more narrow but that’s my fault for not paying attention to the pictures. I do wish the rod for the needs was smaller so you could make pens with smaller beads. I was pretty disappointed that I needed large hole beads which I don’t usually work with.Design pens for a hobby4 of the pens received will not work due to they are stripped. The Caps won't tighten, just keep spinning. I'll purchase a different brand next time.There just like the picture and exactly what I wantedFirst of all it’s a great price for the 30 pack. I unscrewed the tub little piece and put a glass bead on first, and then I put letters and then you can put another glass bead or not. I love the colors, I love the way the pens write. I am so glad I purchased this particular brand, this has been a great fun project going on for weeks with my 11 year daughter. The finished product makes a great thoughtful & fun gift.Pens are easy to use- simply unscrew the top tab and string the beads of your choice. The colors are beautiful. Some are mat finish and some are glittery. The only concern is the top screw-off tab will sometimes get stripped. Be careful when screwing it back on.when working with these the cap some time fall and i can not find them i wish there replacement you could buyVery nice quality. Would highly recommend
