Introduction:

Are you tired of boring school supplies? Want something that stands out and shows off your personality? Look no further! We’ve got some tips and tricks to add some pop to your school supplies and make them unique.

First off, let’s talk about a DIY school supplies hack that we tested. We tried coloring stapler pins using paint pens. Here’s what we found out.

1. Experiment with Nail Polish and Sharpies

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to add some color to plain silver stapler pins, try using nail polish or Sharpies. We tested this idea and were blown away by the transformation. We found that both nail polish and Sharpies adhere well to the metal and produce vibrant colors.

2. Try Using Paint Pens

We also tested the idea of using paint pens instead of nail polish or Sharpies. We used Posca pens to color staples pins with paint pens. We found that the green paint pen showed amazing opacity and provided a vibrant matte color to the pins.

3. Be Mindful of Color Adhesion

However, after testing coloring each pin with a different color, we found that the color adhesion was too weak. The paint easily chipped off with use. This may be due to the nature of the metal or the type of paint pens used. Nonetheless, it’s important to be mindful of color adhesion when experimenting with coloring school supplies.

4. Layer Your Colors

One of the benefits of using paint pens on school supplies is that they are generally very opaque and can be layered. This means you can experiment with different color combinations to create unique patterns and designs. Keep in mind proper color adhesion and use a sealant to keep your design from chipping off.

Conclusion:

With a little creativity and experimentation, you can easily make your school supplies stand out. Whether you try using nail polish and Sharpies or utilizing paint pens, the transformation will be amazing. Just remember to be mindful of color adhesion and experiment with layering colors to create your unique design.
