Beautiful Wooden Crochet Hook Caddy

Supplies:

• 1 piece of cutoff 2x4 board
• 1 small can of any color stain
• 1 small can polyurethane varnish

Tools:

• router and beading bit
• drill and various sized drill bits
• sander or sanding block

Directions:

Find yourself a good sized scrap of 2x4 (layout your crochet hooks to decide how big it will need to be). Run the router with a beading bit around the top edge of the 2x4 while laying it flat. Sand thoroughly until smooth.

With a drill and drill bits: drill holes to fit the size of your crochet hook's bottoms so that the crochet hooks can be stuck in wood with the hook side up.

Stain and varnish now or try these options. Embellish with some decoupage on either end of the board with the holes for the hooks in the center. You could personalize this by decoupaging pictures on the ends for the person you are making it for. You could also wood burn a saying or write the recipient's name before you apply the stain and varnish.

Add the crochet hooks when it is dry.
