Recycled Shampoo Bottle Fountain Pen

Inspired by the amazing recycling efforts of Matt and Jonny at Brothers Make I made a fountain pen using melted down head and shoulders bottles.

The pen looks amazing but certainly there is a fair bit of work to do yet before I master this technique. It polished nice but still doesn’t feel as smooth as the normal acrylic and wood pens I make.

Note this video is in no way affiliated with Head & Shoulders and melting down plastic should be done at your own risk!

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda.

As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience.

Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
