"Hi! I'm Robin with www.Trees-mom.com and today we're doing a video for Expert Village. We are making a holder that I use for my cell phone, but you can use for a lot of other different things. This is made out crocheted wire. Things that you're going to need for this project are your crochet hooks. We're going to use a smaller one for this project and for the other projects that I've done so it'll make it more delicate, lacey, more Victorian looking. We are actually going to use a G crochet hook for this project. We need our wire cutters, our needle nose pliers, and our flat nose pliers. We also have different types of buttons. These are more Victorian also. They're a lot prettier than the other things that we have been using to give it a little more Victorian flare. We are using pearls instead of beads for this project. We are using gold seed beads along with the gold wire. The gold is going to make it look more elegant and give it more of a Victorian feel than our projects have been."
