Getting creative with your promotional pens

Have you ever thought about getting creative with your promo pen collection? Perhaps you’ve had an idea to turn a pen itself into something artistic, or perhaps even something more useful than a simple pen? That’s what participants in the Designboom competition had in mind when they re-invented the Bic ballpoint pen.

This participant decided to add to the functionality of the classic Bic pen cap by adding fork, knife, and spoon extensions.

This next entrant decided to take a green approach and turn their Bic pen into a flower vase!

And this final entrant got a bit militaristic and decided that Bic pens should also be used as bow-and-arrows.

So you see, collecting free pens goes beyond the joy of building up your stash. You can actually use these pens for do-it-yourself projects like the ones pictured above. Who knows, maybe your innovative design will revolutionize the way we see pens!
