Cut the pen tube with your scissors (or X-acto knife, in my case) and trim it up.

Refer to pictures if you need help or guidance. (NOTE: I cut right before the USA part, so it would look nice and clean.)



Next, cut the ink cartridge. Do this fast (scissors may get inky) and tape it up as shown in the pictures. Taping the other end (which you will discard) is necessary if you want to keep from ink getting all over your garbage can.
