Repair and personalise a broken crochet hook and love your craft again!
I had a crochet hook with a broken end that stabbed me every time I tried to use it, I also had some sugru to test out and I decided to see if I could combine the two. Turns out I could and now I have a crochet hook that not only doesn't cause me injury it looks pretty too! You could use this tutorial on a non broken hook just to pretty it up.

Step 1
Warm up the sugru in your hands.
Step 2
Roll it into a sausage with two fat ends, do this by rolling with one finger in the middle of the sausage.
Step 3
Fold the sausage in half to make your heart shape.
Step 4
Smooth out the shape with your fingers.
Step 5
If you like, add some glitter, just sprinkle on and press gently into the surface.
Step 6
Stick the broken end of the crochet hook into the sugru. Or, if you're just doing it for decoration just push the non-hook end into the sugru.
Step 7
I added a little start sequin to finish it off...
Step 8
Leave to cure for 24 hours then hook to your hearts content with your lovely refurbished hook
