CHECK OUT MY NEW HOOK HANDLES -**UPDATE** tried them

[Sharon]

Here are my hook handles I have been working on. The pink/red and green are made of Crayola Model Magic. You do not bake this. I really like the feel of these, but the stuff developes cracks as it dries. The orange and yellow ones are made from Eraser Sculpey. I wanted something softer than the hard clay handles. I found this kit at my GoodWill store. You still have to bake it like regular Sculpey, but it stays semi-soft just like an eraser would. I love the feeling in my hands!

Wow!! That is really clever!! What a great idea! Good job! :yay2 I really like the colors, too!

What a great idea! I have been using smaller hooks for my blankie CAL and my hands hurt. I have some of those small comfort cushions, but need the big boys now. Somewhere around here my daughter received a small package of model magic from a b'day party goodt bag, she'll never miss it!.

Thanks Shar

i was thinking .. the one that has cracks as it dried.. if it is just surface cracks.. you can sand it with fine grit sandpaper and take them off ..

[Sharon]

Beth, I am afraid that if I start sanding, it's going to crumble off the rest of the way. It's really a weird material, hard to explain. Almost like styrofoam.

[froggy]

Your idea is the best with the Sculpy on the handles! The wonderful idea's that the people on this board come up with never ceases to amaze me! You all are great!:clap

[threeolivemartini]

hmm ok .. just a thought LOL .. if you dont mind the cracks i am sure the hook will work the same either way LOL ..

[MomaChet]

Have you used them yet? I am wondering on the comfortablity while using them. :))

[hollier2002]

That looks like a great idea!!!!

[Sharon]

Today I tried the H hook I made with the eraser Sculpey. Oh my gosh! It was so comfortable in my hand. It is not rock hard like Sculpey beads. It has just the right amount of "give" to it.

I guess I will be heading out to Walmart or Michaels this week. One more question. It does look like you made it pretty thick. ANy reason why? Can I do it thinner?

[dennymare]

great job; now you got me wanting to run to wally world and pick me up some.

[Sharon]

Yes of course you can make it as thick or thin as you want. I wanted them big because I know my hands are only going to get worse, lol.
