Description 

I love the crochet hooks with large handle from Clover but the color is so dull. You can make your own crochet handles with polymer clay.


Instructions 
  1. 1
    Step 1

    Gather your materials and use baking paper to work on.


  2. 2
    Step 2

    Use about 15-16 grams of clay for each handle. Knead it until soft and make a long shape. Place the hook on the clay and push it into the clay.


  3. 3
    Step 3

    Fold the clay around the hook and gently knead it and rubb it and roll on the surface until the seam is closed.


  4. 4
    Step 4

    Use a different color clay to decorate it. You can leave it round or slightly flatten the handle, whatever your prefer.


  5. 5
    Step 5

    Use a rubber stamp to press the crochet hook number in the clay.


  6. 6
    Step 6

    Bake it in the oven according to the instructions on the clay wrap.

    Let it cool off, hang it up on a string and use lacquer to finish it.


  7. 7
    Step 7

    You're done, happy crocheting!

i tried this crochet handle project. my handles came out sticky. so after a few days pondering, i discovered a solution for anyone who would like to know. i REMOVED the lacquer with rubbing alcohol. i just put the alcohol on a cloth and rubbed the handle for a few minutes. let it air dry. repeat this step if necessary. all done!!!!

Good idea, I've never tried crocheting with a large handle, it looks comfortable. I may have to try this.
