    So you don't like TEK's way of doing it? (I LIKE IT BY THE WAY) I will tell you how.

    Things needed-
    -Some sort of insert/outsert (I recommend origami paper or something, nice and thin.)
    -Double sided tape
    -Non-Retard.

    1. Cut insert/outsert to size needed.
    2. Put Double sided tape on the top and bottom of the BACKSIDE of the insert/outsert.
    3. Wrap insert/outsert on TIGHTLY.

    Voila!
    You have yourself a outsert!

    Pros/Cons
    1. Pro: If done right looks nice.
    2. Con: Sometimes can get caught on fingers during combos/tricks.
    3. Pro: Ummmm, it's awesome. lol.

    Well there you go!

    And for Tek: Yu also have a nice way of making outserts.

    The paper can easily get dirty and rip.
    Plus if it gets wet, its gone. IMO

    but this is an easier way to change the outsert.

    Ya i guess it could get dirty. i havent had that problem yet with my comssa. you just have to make sure you put the tap right at the edge of the insert/outsert.

    pretty cheap way lol but it works i guess. I would just hate the feel of paper when im spinning and im guessing paper could ter easy. G/j sure some people will try this

    it really doesnt rip easily. double sided tape depending on what brand is super strong. at least mine is. plus origami paper isnt cheap. but i guess its pretty cheap way for outserts.

    Can't you just print an insert onto sticker paper then? It'd be the same thing as taping it on.

    BTW, you probably should have posted this in TEK's how to make an outsert thread.

    its shiny origami paper. so its a glossy feeling.

    good new way
    but i think that if it accidentally touches water then the ink may run.
    and sometimes if you have paper used soo much or touched idk..it starts to get fuzzy and fade and get dirty ya..
    and over all i think the technique is a bit harder to do then mine because you cant really overlap the outsert or else it will be sticking up
    cutting it could be a bit tricky if you want it to be perfect without showing any of the barrel.

    but it is still nice to give other people options of doing something if they like this way better ^^.
    good job

    I've done this before
    The paper feels REALLY weird when you spin it

    what if you're spinning and your fingers catch the seam? It'll rip the whole thing out. But it's COOL.

    Nice method of making an outsert.

    Intresting and easy. But I think i drop my pen too much for it too work well, I think the paper might rip. :\

    do u guys normally print this on normal paper or special kind of paper

    TEK's posted method of making an outsert is far superior to this method. You have more control spinning-wise when dealing with the feel of the tape (in TEK's method) rather than dealing with the paper material in this method.

    And to answer your question, use regular paper...anything else is too thick.

    You could wrap some clear tape around it to keep it waterproof.
