I read a page on the moleskinerie recently that had a hack like this. The guy used a ribbon and cut a couple of slots into the ribbon threaded a pen into the slots and glued the ends and slipped it around the cover of his mole and voila! A nifty penholder. I made mine a little different; I used a 1 and a quarter stripe of leather, eyelets to attach and then threaded my pen through the open slot at the top.
It’s not very useful for me because I always keep my space pen in my pocket. I’m going to try and use it for some of my pens but I fits the space pen best, I’m going to try and make a couple of these larger for different sized pens.
They are not exactly easy to make but not hard either. Anyway, check them out.
INstructions later.

hi ur clip is nice, i would like to ask how to make those pin on leather? is there any tool for it?
thanks!
The "pins" are eyelets. If you have a craft storenear you they are in the scrapbook section. They come in all colors and sizes. I use 1/8th size. There is a tool, it's called an eyelet setter. You place it on the back side of the eyelet and hit it with a hammer.
Hope that helps
