Is it? I have made one before, but I want to make a nice one that can be reused and will be made safer. Anyone ever done anything like this before? Do I need to register it with the ATF? I do not want to do anything illegal so please let me know what you know. Thanks.

Yes, a pen gun is not a legal weapon to own, just as a sawed off shotgun isn't legal to own.
You're going to haveto stop making your little guns, and theoreticaly you either turn over the one you made or destroy it, it's just not legal. That being said, if you just have it on display and not operational I guess you can keep it...
Don't listen to these guys who tell you it's okay to make an illegal weapon. The ATF will not show you any leniency if you plead ignorance, so you have been forewarned.

It's only illegal if you get caught, but in actuality to make it I don't think it is illegal but will be illegal if it doesn't meet state requirements such as barrel lenght and if you carry it without a FOID Card or if you conceal the gun.

If it is for your own private use, yes. If you make it and sell it you may be violating many laws.
