Crochet Hooks Out of Your Old Plastic Toothbrush

I found a new idea since I was really struggling on how to provide crochet hook to the girls I am teaching. We have hooks but it's only limited so some girls are borrowing from each other. I found this new idea on how to make crochet hooks out of your old toothbrushes. This idea is really helpful since we don't have enough budget to buy more crochet hooks.

You could donate your old toothbrushes to us so we can turn them into crochet hooks instead of throwing them.

Basic Crochet Stitches

I learned how to crochet when I was in grade five. I learned it even before my teacher taught us in school. I really like doing crochet and other things related to needlecraft. My first crochet was a small table cloth. Then I started doing some small pouches. I did lots of crochet and sold most of them. I shared videos below from Crochet Geek on YouTube. These videos are great for beginners and very helpful. I find it really fun and exciting doing crochet since I started viewing videos from Crochet Geek.
