Layong tools can be lots of fun, but maybe you haven’t found one you love.
Why not adapt a tool from cookie decorating called a scribe tool to make your own.
The tutorial on the blog Cute Simple Stuff shows you how, step-by-step.
To make it work as a laying tool, you need to pick something that is slightly thicker than the needle she used. Look for:
- plastic needles
- #18 or #20 tapestry needles
- needles for sewing together sweater parts
- bamboo cake testers
Metal needles will make a more permanent tool.
With this you can make a tool that suits you perfectly.
