Here it is, folks! The perfect combination of craft and magic. Assuming there is a difference between these two fav worlds of mine. Harry Potter Wand Inspired Crochet Hooks! This idea was first executed late some Friday night in June, as a gift for my dear friends Birthday. Deliriously I slaved over a forest of melting plastic, pouring my intense love for Harry Potter into each hand crafted piece.
...ok, maybe that description is a BIT over the top. In all honesty, these were absurdly fun to make. Especially after seeing the reactions of my friends and family who saw the finished products. Encouraging bunch, they are! Instead of keeping these lovely tools of magic to myself, I've decided to post them on Etsy for the world to try. I made myself a set and use them on the regular to ensure they are not only decorative, but functional, too!
Each wand/hook is uniquely crafted from plastic and coated in acrylic shades that I mix to reflect the colors of wood you might see in the hands of actual witches and wizards. To really give the owner a sense of authentic companionship, as portrayed by the Harry Potter movies and books, I include a personal message describing the origins from which the wand/hook is made. Recently I sent out a note that described the purchasers hook as Alder wood with a phoenix hair core. So much fun!
The crochet hooks are available individually, or in a full set of 6. They made a perfect Birthday gift for my fellow Potter fan and crafter!
Who knows, maybe like the Orchideous spell that conjures a bunch of flowers...there is some sort of Crochetulous spell that conjures all the yarn fairies to help you crochet in double time! Clearly these are the only hooks that could possibly make that happen.
