One of my favorite things to do with rub-ons is to color them in using gel pens (Sakura glaze or souffle or Pilot's lattes.) Not only does it look cool but more importantly, it's very meditative and gives me time to process my thoughts and feelings as I work on a page.

Great page. I've never thought about coloring my rub ons.

Not sure what you mean Kelly? Do you draw over them so that you can't see them at all or just kind of?

Hey, Kelly--I got my CocoIro pens from JetPens and wouldn't you know it, I can't figure out how to put them together!! How do you spell idiot?? C-a-t-h-y, that's how!! I wrote an e-mail to the company asking if I had the right pen body and refills!! And for instructions!! Maybe if I like them I'll ask them to pre-assemble them next time. Anyways, I love your page and I never thought about coloring rub-ons either. Cool idea!!

No, you're not an idiot. Fyi, the bottom of the pen sticks out at the bottom.

Unscrew the pen body.

Drop the pen refill into it and screw the pen refill into the body.

I don't throw away the extra clear cap that comes with the refill "just in case"...but you don't need it as long as you have the pen body. It is ONLY if you use the refill alone without a body.

Cap it when not in use!

Lmk if you need any more help. ;)

Thank you both for the kind words!
