D.I.Y. needle and ball tool

CY's needle and ball tool.

Material:

1. Needle with ball head of desired size

2. Cutting pliers

3. Gripping pliers

4. Hot glue stick

5. (Optional) Decoration, e.g. silver wire (in my case).

What did I do:

1. Break the needle into half with cutting pliers, with short part of needle left attached to the ball, and few cm left on the sharp end.

2. Using pliers, push the needle/ball head into the glue stick at each end of the glue stick. Adjust your needle length as needed.

3. Decorate the glue stick if you'd wish. 

Tips:

* Glue sticks are soft and flexible, so consider strengthening the core to reduce flexibility.

* While pushing the needle in, check on the insertion tract of the needle (if your glue stick is transparent) so it will not deviate and exit from the glue stick.
