Eye Hook Crafts

Make eye hook crafts for a fun project that is perfect for any age. There are lots of arts and crafts projects using eye hooks that take only a small amount of time but offer fun for everyone involved. Develop hands-on skills, learn to work collaboratively and create a project that is a great gift or one that deserves to be put on display in your home.

Latch-hook projects

Latch-hooking is an eye hook craft that is easily completed in a few hours. This type of project is not as difficult as fine needlework and causes less strain on fingers and eyes. The materials used in latch-hooking are larger too. Eye hooks come in a range of sizes. Choose small latch-hook projects or sizes as large as 12 by 12 feet. Working with patterns like seascapes or Disney characters is enjoyable, and the end result is appreciated by those who love colorful designs. Use materials like wool or acrylic and an eye-hook tool. This type of tool is very inexpensive and available at craft stores. Instructions on how to start a latch-hook project are typically included on the package of the eye-hook tool.

Jewelry creations

Eye hooks are not just used with needlework and fabric. They are highly popular in jewelry creations as well as other craft projects. Make bracelets with this versatile type of closure that is available in a number of shapes, colors and sizes. Design a fashionable piece to wear every day to work or even to an elegant dinner party. Crafters, clothing designers and beaders use eye hooks as embellishments.

Eye hook crafts are a great project to get the whole family involved, offering a chance for young and old to work with their hands and learn a new activity.
