Costas Schuler (“The Pen Guy”) sent a picture of a Christmas wreath he made and decorated with ink pens for his car. I was more interested in the car itself, because it is also covered with pens! It turns out we linked this car a few years ago, but it’s certainly worth another look. The “Mercedes Pens” is covered with 10,000 pens and markers as an art and recycling project. Oh yeah, it also now has a Christmas wreath on it. Link
