The Tip Jar
Want to make an easy DIY holder for straight needles or crochet hooks? Go to the hardware store and get a length of PVC pipe a little longer than the needles you want to store (they will usually be happy to cut it to length for you), and a couple of PVC end caps. Glue one end cap on, and leave the other loose so you can remove it. Leave it plain or decorate with markers, paint, stickers, or whatever floats your creative boat!
