Nearly everyone that I've seen who has made food capsules has used the staedler pens. The only one I know of who used a different type of pen I think, is Syn Kai Jinn, but I'm sure there are others who have done it differently. Also I have seen them carved from wooden dowels... Headhunter made those I think. But these pens really are not much more costly than other pens of that style. If you do choose another type of pen cap, make sure the clip connects to the pen high enough so that the food capsule doesn't sit high above the top of the belt.

I have used SANFORD uni-ball caps, for my boys costumes ... That is the Pen we use at the office and I get about 4 caps a week just looking around ... Some co-workers will leave them on my desk when they use up a pen [/i][/size][/color]

i agree with Leda. I got my steadtler pens on ebay....12 for 12 bucks. They clip onto the belt really easily....many other brands do not have a clip that's as flexible.

I felt the need to add a little more color to my Jedi outfit. Therefore I picked up the Pilot Precise Grips with a solid color top. The clip places the pen top perfectly on my belt. Remember, your costume is a reflection of you. Be creative.

The food capsules are made from the pen tops and they just hook right onto the accent belt. Pouches come in very handy at conventions and they just add to the "Jedi look", but they're not required to join TJA. I was looking at this picture ... It looks like they are clipped on the top of the main belt ... Also I like the yellow showing through ... Just like mine end up looking
