Lynn Posted February 10, 2009 Has anyone seen the crochet hooks covered in polymer clay? I saw some on Etsy and they are really pretty. They were at http://www.divadea.etsy.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damara Posted February 10, 2009 Those are neat. It's amazing how they can make all the neat designs in the different colored clay. Mine aren't pretty, but I put clay on all my metal hooks now. It is much easier on my hands, especially when I can form the clay to fit my hand fairly well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craziebunny Posted February 10, 2009 Those are pretty! smell a project in the future on trying my hands on doing this... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tcandlgmom Posted February 10, 2009 (edited) Those hooks are sooooo tempting! I love my Susan Bates bamboo handle hooks, so much easier on my hands. Now, to find some polymer clay to "chunk up" the rest of my handles Edited February 11, 2009 by tcandlgmom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Startigerlily Posted February 11, 2009 Cool! Polymer clay looks like a lot of fun. It's amazing how many different kind of effects you can get with it. I may have to put that on my to-do project list. Thanks for sharing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

melkrose Posted February 19, 2009 Looks like a good idea. Maybe I will try it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Feederofthepack Posted March 1, 2009 Would you need to put some kind of finish on the clay to keep it from getting dingy from the oils in your skin? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
onfire4Jesus Posted March 2, 2009 Gotta go back to doing some polymer clay items. These are a great inspiration. TFS ... I was just showing them to DH. He didn't know about polymer clay; but loves to work in clay. We may have a couples craft here! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ErinysCrochet Posted May 5, 2009 I just recently made a handle for two of my hooks. I've never worked with polymer clay at all before so obviously these weren't made for art's sake XD. The first time I tried it didn't work--I managed to buy clay that was hard as a rock and wouldn't soften no matter what I did. The brand I used and worked fine is Sculpey III brand clay. Put me back $1.99 at Michaels. Go ahead and give the clay a little squeeze in the store to make sure you'll be able to condition it. I marked the handle at the end with a pin so I'd remember the size. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
