How to clean your glass dip pen (using my pen kit as an example)  

Yeah don't break the tip. The tip of my pen got broken in an accident and it broke my heart because it was a gift from my grandma. I still have it I just can't use it because the way it scrapes now is just bad for my sensory issues

I have a glass pen, normal water works just fine too :)

In my work place we have glass pens ( fun fact in French it’s called a glass feather ( plume de ver ))and sometimes we demonstrate how it works and because we use a natural ink( one of my coworkers makes it ) we actually just wash it in water ( under the tab and let the water run on it ) so I was a bit surprised when you used some glass cleaner but I guess it makes sense lol

Cleaning my dip pen and keeping my mouth minty fresh at the same time 👌

I cannot believe I've been spending the past 5+ years cleaning glass pens with a toothpick and tissues to get it perfectly clean when this was always an option. It just never clicked that glass cleaner would clean a glass pen just as well as a glass window

It seems I’m the only one with a dirty mind then💀💀

I can't be the only one finding out about such a pen today!👀😂

You can also just dip it in water while you draw so that the ink doesn't dry out

I could never get a glass pen. I’m way too clumsy and they seem out of my budget 😭

I have a glass dip pen and I find that hot water works well, sometimes I take a brush to the grooves to speed up the process.

That "be careful not to break the tip" feels like a lesson well learned

I remember getting one as a gift on teachers day for my Chinese calligraphy teacher

THANK YOU SO MUCH IVE BEEN NEEDING TO KNOW THIS

“ *Her putting the glass pen on the holder thingy* ” “Sigh” *checks comments*

i think the best thing about glass pens is that you can leave them in liquid and they won’t rust or bend

Professional artist scribbles on paper

imagine dropping it ☠️

I love the design of your nails. I have younger kids so unfortunately the pen would get broken. I can't wait until my basement is finished then I can have my craft room.

woah so pretty, I rly want one

I think you and the pen are absolutely gorgeous 😍 Merry Christmas.

Just me or my first thought when she poured the glass cleaner was “That looks nice and drinkable-“ Edit: How the f did I get 3k likes- Stop liking this lol

We're not gonna talk about what the pen on the stand looks like? No? Ok I'm just gonna go ahead and use my white ink

I would be the one person who drops this gorgeous pen on the ground rendering it unusable

i’d end up drinking that on accident-

I’ve heard that it’s possible to use watercolor as an alternative to ink for dip pens, is this true?

Oooh my favorite color 😍 I would like to drink that water😂

Omg! I just commented the other video of u writing with this pen but then I never saw this video, now I did thanks a lot.

Glass pens are so prettyy

THATS SO COOL! 🤩 i’ve been begging my parents to buy me a glass dip pen since last year, but they are too expensive, and i can only draw with pencil and pen and i have never been able to color my art because for some reason i always hate the way it looks because idk how ro blend and shade colors correctly so im kind of scared if i did get a glass dip pen because i wouldn’t know how to use it correctly

Why'd she set down like that... 💀

man glass pens looks so beautiful i love them

That is really satisfying

"i know what ur thinking when she put the pen on the other glass thing, me too."

Everyone talking about glass pen and me who keeps looking at her nail art 😭

I love your nails!

I liked how she made an ad for herself

Me: Yes very useful tutorial on how to clean something I don't and will probably never have :)

“If you leave it over night, you’re gonna want to let it sit for 15 minutes” what??😂

That's really smart, thanks❣

I saw this while ago, and I thought it was cool! I got a glass pen today, and the glass cleaner does work. Water seems to work too. It’s been fun trying out the glass pen for the first time!

“I’m a professional artist”

The mad chemist in me said "Just use piranha acid that should get rid of everything..."

i love your videos

Thank you so much for explaining that I actually have a glass dip pen but I didn’t know how to clean it so thank you

Oh

You explained how to clean glass.

ur nails are so cool!

I love your videos, and I want the glass pan really bad

Comment 7 also my mom has a glass pen But not yours though :>

whats the point? its just a worse ballpoint pen that doesn't react to pressure and needs to be dipped in ink

mine fell down but now when i write with it, my writing looks so beautiful

So you basically just showed us how to dip a stick in some water.

Www.itsdesignedbyhannah.com for the pen kit

wow really needed this had no idea how to clean a piece of glass

Thanks now I can clean a glass pen when I get one

🧐 your glass pen is long

Comment 17. Awesome.

Something else with this specific model of glass pen is that if it's having trouble putting down ink, try rotating it a little. I saw a short breaking down the mechanics of a similar one, and the grooves on that pen each worked like the cartridges in ball point pens, and only one groove is releasing ink at any one time, like some quirk of how gravity acts on the ink or the ink needs to be wicked off into the paper like the towel wiping off the cleaned pen in this demonstration. Also, if more than just the tip of your pen needs this cleaning and there's some significant shatter protection, like the pen's made out of the same sapphire as high-end watch glass, then putting it into an ultrasonic cleaning basin, one designed for either watches or eye glasses might be a big help, as this would bombard all the dirt and grime on whatever you put into it and many watchsmiths will put the pieces in there for cleaning of the outermost surfaces where hand tools simply can't reach, like in between individual links in a chain wristband.

Wow I never even heard of a glass pen in my life that is pretty awesome and when I see your videos like wow I got to get me a glass pen someday all three of my kids can draw really well during artists my kids love to draw and color with crayons awesome video

I know 😏 ur a professional artist

“Oh I dropped my pen.” “OH I DROPPED MY PEN.”

Fountain pens are certainly something to clean, it took me hours (and yes i made sure EVERYTHING was dry, i used rubbing alcohol multiple times at the end to make sure i didnt have water in the tip, pushed it through with the ink well)

Wow so cool

can you tell me your brand, ive been in love with glass pens and really want one, and that kit looks amazing

I want this!

Oh wow. Who knew it was so difficult. Next can you show me a video on how to wash my hands or butter bread? You know just really break down the most basic of stuff for me.

I love how she's showing the one she did when she showed us about it the dress thing I love how she's showing it at the top

Is the tip easy to fix bc I broke mine could u do a vid on how to fit it if u can❤😅

Normal blue or black ink use kr skte haina?normal ink jo market me ati hai fountain pen ki?

it’s also one of my favorite…. supplies

Omg it's my favourite pen too! I use it for watercolour...

I’m just about to get mines thank you bye tell me how to clean the tip🥰🥰🥰

I got that pen in swampmeed and came with few color i forgot how many but is pretty cool

New here, I was wondering can we write well with it? Seems quite nice and interesting

Me watching these shorts even though I know I'll never get a glass pen: hmm.. very interesting and helpful..

Neo Armstrong Cyclone Jet Armstrong Cannon? That's pretty good.

Thank you! I was using nail polish remover.

I've been watching your videos for a while and I really wanted to ask out of curiosity, have you ever broke your pen?

Cool :O

I have one too but umm u can just use water just regular tap water or whatever is perfectly fine and works just as good 👍

I was curious where is it safe to dump the water (if used) to clean the pen or the glass cleaner

Can you reuse glass cleaner or do you have to throw it away after each use?

Do you clean the pen everytime you need more ink? Or do you clean your pen when your done with drawing or change colour?

Do you have to clean the pen every time it runs out of ink or when you are finished using it

Where did you get your glass pen? With so many on the market how do we know if it's a good one?

lovely pen glass/wood/metal all be types of pen wonder what material you can't make pen with ?

Wait, could you also re dip the pen in ink and continue drawing? Or do you have to clean it after every dip

Would this pen be fun to write and take notes or is it better for drawing

me trying to keep my mind minty fresh acting as if I didnt see anything 🧐😮😯

I have a glass pen too water works fine but just needs a bit more pressure but don’t break it

just curious, what would happen if you didn’t clean off your pen tip after it dried out and instead just dipped it back in the ink? is it necessary to clean the tip every time your pen tip is dried up?

Can you tell me if you can reuse the same glass cleaner for the same pan cause I think I’m gonna buy it 😊

Can u show is how to clean it with the supplies that they give u?

I use plain water (it works just fine) and a plastic container so as to not crack the pen by accident banging it on the glass bottle.

Normal water works just fine for me, I've never had it stop writing. I've used my pen for about 6-7 years.

I lovit, ti's Pen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ❤️❤️

question can you use calligraphy ink for the dip pen?

I also have a glass pen! But I get ticks every now and then (I don’t know what else to call them but have not been diagnosed with them) and one day I was drawing and suddenly my arm with the pin slammed it down and broke the tip! Is there *any* way I can potentially fix this?

Is it just me who noticed the glass pen stand?!✌🏻😂💀

How string is that pen? Can it take some damage or will it break if it fells
