Hi all! I realize there's a few threads from way back discussing s hooks so I apologize for the new thread. I'm looking to buy a particular type of asymmetrical s hook which came with my Dollshe boy and wondered if anyone has seen any other makers or doll suppliers that sell similar hooks. The s hook is approximately 1.7cm long with a smaller side for the string and larger size for part attachments. I've found these hooks to be very easy to work with, making switching parts a breeze because of the hook length. In contrast, my Dollmore boy uses incredibly small hooks and it was extremely difficult for me to take off his hands. I would like to replace his hooks with the asymmetrical s hooks. Spoiler: Comparison If anyone has any information of where to find these tiny asymmetrical hooks please let me know! Thank you
I've made my own with thin wire and pliers! It should be fairly simple because you have a reference model.
Thank you for the suggestion Would any kind of stainless steel wire do? I was afraid that if I did it myself the hook wouldn't be strong enough to hold the string and just bend open eventually
Any kind of steel wire will do! When I was making neck S-hooks, I was able to use premade ones from the hardware store and force them into shape. I do recommend that you wear gloves, preferably with a grip. Protects your hands and helps you use the pliers! If you have any other questions or want to see what I've done, just post here or message me.
