Locker Hooking Update

Seems we jumped the gun a bit - guess we were over excited about the craft of Locker Hooking! We're aware that many of our stores have not received their locker hooking supplies, and are working diligently to fix that. We apologize for the inconvenience, but are thrilled there's so much interest in this project. We'll keep you posted on the status .....

Locker Hooking is Back!

Locker Hooking is an obscure craft that's making it's way back.... What is it you ask? Well, it's a fun, easy-to-learn method for turning strips of fabric or yarn into fabulous home decor, stylish fashion accessories and one-of-a-kind gifts. Check out this amazing wall hanging that Peggy from our Soquel store made:

For inspiration and details you must take a look at hook, loop & lock by Theresa Pulido. We fell in love with the projects from this book. So much so, that we created a video to explain the locker hooking technique. You can find the video at the Beverly's web site, just click here.

Look for a "how-to" for the luggage tag made by Kathy - coming this fall.
