Random Quick Tip!

Sending Crochet Hooks
If you need to send crochet hooks in the mail, you could flatten a paper towel tube, cut it so it is 7" long, then tape one end to seal it. I suggest using Fiber Tape for strength. Then put the hooks inside the tube, they should be wrapped in tissue paper, then seal up the other end. Then you can put this protective tube inside a 6"x9" envelope for sending through the mail. This way they should not work themselves out of the envelope. You could even send them in a business size envelope that is made manilla paper. That way it is not sooo big.
