Stitch markers for crochet
There are all sorts of stitch markers out there for you to purchase. But being the crafty person I am, I wanted to make some of my own. All you need are some small lobster clasps, (which can be obtained at dollar stores and craft stores) and some beads and/or charms and some head pins or wire. I had seen crochet stitch markers made using the shepherd hook (used for ear rings) but I didn't like the way they wiggled easily out of the crochet project. Using lobster clasps means the marker fastens easily to your project and won't slip off when you turn the work or put the project down while you take a break.
For the above stitch markers I used 26 gauge wire as I didn't have any head pins. The rest of the stuff I had in my crafting stash of odds 'n ends. They made up quickly and easily. I just know that I'll be making more of these in the days to come.
