Measure 1/8 teaspoon of each color to be used (PHOTO 2) and mix them (PHOTO 3).  Step 3 - OPTIONAL: the ink portion sometime moves upon filling. You may want to tape the writing end in place.  Step 4 - Roll a small piece of paper into a funnel OR try it the hard way and pour the beads into the pen with a small spoon (PHOTO 4). Note: some bead stores carry small funnels.
