My wife found these a Michaels. I was thinking of turning some pens for christmas and thought if i could find a kit with a similar design I'd be a hero. Have any of you seen something similar out there?

The sierra pen is somehow similar. It is a twist pen not a click, it has a single barrel and it has being used to display photos.
You will need to print the image glue it to the barrel and cast it in PR. THe barrel has to be painted so the brass don't show under the photo, and the print is made on Avery stickers.
I have not made any of those but there is info on some pen making forums.
Good luck

thanks that's a pretty good idea. :cool: this particular pen has a cylinder you tape the photo in. Your idea would be a lot of hard work, and skill. Don't have much skill and try to avoid hardwork like the plague!:D
