Do feather pens make you feel fancy? While very pretty, writing with a real quill pen and ink is very, very messy. Luckily, you can make your own \"feather\" pen with a pen or pencil and a few coffee filters for all the fun without the mess! This elegant craft transforms ordinary writing tools into beautiful feathered pens perfect for special writing projects, storytelling, or historical role-play activities.
A 5–10 minutes craft for ages 5–12, using supplies you likely already have — Double-Sided Tape, Pens, and Coffee Filters.
