How To Make A Stink Pen

KipKay, dedicated VideoJug user, shows you how to build a stink pen with only three simple items. This takes only five minutes to do, and yet provides you with the ultimate stink pen.

Step 1: Preparation

To build a portable stink pen, all you need is three items. First you need a little cheap click pen and you can pick these up anywhere. I chose a black one because it's easier to hide. Next, an ordinary bobby pin. And then you need some strike anywhere matches - the ones with the white tip. These are the only ones that will work.

Step 2: The Pen

First, take apart the click pen. Now you want to save the spring, but you can throw away the ink thing, we're not going to need that.

Step 3: Creating The Firing Mechanism

Then take the bobby pin and run it throw the centre of the spring. This will be your firing mechanism.

Step 4: Securing The Firing Mechanism

Now take this and place it inside the tip of the pen. Now, I used a pair of needle nose pliers just to bend the very edge of the bobby pin so it doesn't come flying out.

Step 5: Loading The Pen

Take your strike anywhere match, and load it in the body of the pen. Then reassemble the pen.

Step 6: Using The Pen

And fire away. Now that stinks. Take this stink pen with you anywhere, and you can reload it anytime you want; just bring some matches.
