Ok tell me in comments: Which part of the title of this post brought you here? (I’m dying to know how many want to know about the TP or pens! ha!)
I hope you won’t find this a letdown no matter which you came for! The video covers both – a toilet paper craft you can make to gift to your favorite essential workers or neighbors…..and most of the selection of Copic multiliners – and FOUNTAIN PENS! Yep! They exist! (Supplies are compiled at the end of this post.)

Here’s the video – scroll on down for the pics and more description.
Copic-friendly pens
I’ve had multiliners for a long time, and I like having a selection of sizes so I can match it to the line weight of my project or stamp set. These pens can be used for a drawing, then Copic color on top won’t bleed or smudge.
The multiliners come in a variety of packs, depending on where you get them – they can have all the pens or smaller selections, and you can find them in sepias or greys too.
My suspicion on the Copic fountain pens is that they’ve been around a long while and I’m only learning about them belatedly – because they aren’t widely available. Blick carries F01 and F02 … but Amazon only carries the F02 — sooooo that might well mean they’re on the way out rather than in.
My thoughts: they aren’t a necessity, just a fun thing! They’re disposable, which means they aren’t refillable, so they’re just going to sit in a landfill someday. They don’t have the “flow” of a regular fountain pen either….they’re nice but not a must-have. But they are nice if you’re a doodler who mixes your drawing with Copic!
My crazy toilet paper project was SO fun to create, and soo easy – thank you Google for having African fabrics that I could search through for ideas and a simple design like this!

So, very sweet idea Sandy! Thanks for sharing with us your fabulous ideas!
I come because I subscribe and don’t want to miss a thing!!
These are so fun and funny! What a hoot or maybe TOOT! I know they will bring smiles to everyone who sees them and gets one. I am DRAWN here by your DRAWING 😛 Always a pleasure to see what you are doing!
I read all your posts, so I’m here because Sandy Alnock’s mail dropped in to my mailbox to tell me that there was a stunning new post/video.
I love your TP fun present.
Thank you for sharing, stay safe and have a great weekend.
Echo. “by Sandy Allnock” ‘drew’ me here. You “made tons of these”, pun intended? I’m missing my .1 Copic liner from my set. Happy to know I’m not the only one who does that. Your toilet paper gift is inspiring. Stay safe!
hahaha I came to see if you were coloring TP with Copic markers 🙂 love your wrap!!!!
Definitely the toilet paper got me to check it out! I like to use Pitt Pens, not the same tip as the Copic pens but they do the job when I need them.
I’m with Karen – if you post, I will come! But the idea of Copic fountain pens does intrigue me – and for about the cost of a marker, I will probably try one out.
You asked what drew us in to watch. I would watch ANYTHING that has your name attached to it! You never disappoint.
