This is an inexpensive way to make hooks. Make your hooks big or small, textured or with colored wire – customize the hooks to fit your projects! I like to use 16 gauge wire although 18 or 20 gauge wire can be used but the wire should be textured or hardened after the hook is made if using a smaller gauge to make your hook more sturdy.
