Hairpin Lace Loom

Step 9 Finally...

Now you are ready to use your Hairpin Lace Loom!

It can be easily collapsed and slipped into a purse, backpack, or tote.

A brand new pair of flip-flops set me back $2.50 at the Drugstore, and the knitting needles (from my stash) originally cost me $2.50, for a total of $5 bucks!

If you get your flip-flops from a Dollar Store, and your knitting needles from a Rummage Sale, you're looking at spending a whopping $2 or LESS!

I think this is a great idea and a great jumping off point for other ideas. I am constantly buying new flip flops through Old Navy and end up keeping the old ones because they are perfectly fine, unbroken shoes. Unfortunately I haven't found a use for them, before today. I also already have the knitting needles ready to go. The hairpin lace loom I bought over the weekend is really annoying me because the plastic end pieces slide all over the place...this one will solve that problem and will be lighter than the real loom.

That is a nice concept but why couldn't you take an old frame for example and make holes and use a dowel or your knitting needles. Isn't t his a little soft, you really need something solid.
Just a suggestion, not to insult you.

This is great for quick fix to get started. I made one on my own with cardboard and knitting needles. Total flop. Yours is much better, Thank You.
