Threading tools out of old steel guitar strings

Setting up a kid's craft, I needed a way to get yarn through small holes for decorations. The idea is similar to a needle threader, just a bit bigger. The brass bead (just out of frame, sorry) on the end of the string makes a nice handle.

Hell yeah. Love a simple solution and repurposed materials

What a great and creative idea! I love reusing things like this, and it makes me happy to see others doing the same. I hope the kids enjoy the craft! :)
