Christmas Gift reveal

I love making handmade gifts. And if someone on my gift list is also a crafter, I like to get something that will encourage their love of making handmade things.

I used a crayon roll tutorial and adjusted the sizes to fit the hooks. I like the hair elastic loop and button for a closure as it is very secure and doesn't catch everything else in your bag as velcro will sometimes do.

Room for all sizes of crochet hooks

Now, I'll just have to make one of these for myself as my crochet hooks are all over the place!
