What's better than a crochet hook? A crochet hook studded with rhinestones, of course! Here's a happy little D.I.Y. project you can make for crafty ladies in your life. It's a great gift idea, or a nice 'gift to self' (wink!). Emma already stole mine. Ready, set, go.....
As soon as I saw Twinkie's rhinestone studded crochet hook I immediately asked her if she'd be interested in sharing her concept here on A Beautiful Mess as a D.I.Y. project. She loved the idea and so this D.I.Y. was born....♥ hooray!
Twinkie's sparkly crochet hook has all the essential elements of a great gift project... supplies cost less than $10, project takes less than 30 minutes to complete and it's completely adorable and unique! When I first saw twinkie's tricked out hook I wanted and needed one of my own. I'm excited for readers all over to create their own kitschy crafts supply. 1-2-3.... Be-dazzle!
Supplies needed: large or XL plastic crochet hook, super glue, rhinestones. Twinkie also used gold spray paint to re-color her needle... see her photo for a visual example.
To create these cute hooks, simply super glue rhinestones on. I added mine in rows and then in a smaller, tighter section. See below for examples.
They're silly... they're sparkly and they're so much fun!
Thanks, Twinkie for sharing your magic! Happy Day 1 of 12 Days of Handmade! XXo. elsie
Love this!

I'll have to do this to my knitting needles (crochet hook just isn't big enough for bling!).

They look really neat, especially when sprayed gold. Shame I've just switched to knitting!
