About hairpin lace

Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Wally all carry hairpin lace forks. Tho now
I see you aren't in the US, looking at your email address.

You might try this German website. I've done business with her in the
past and can recommend her as a good vendor:

So this year during family weekend, I want to do hairpin lace (still
prefer Forcella) with my little nieces. I have no idea whether I
will be able to find those forks, and I would need at least 5 of them.
When we did kumihimo, I cut CD's for them. So now I am wondering if
it would be possible to make forcellas. It doesn't seem very hard.
Any good ideas?

Ria, Several years ago DH made me one by finishing a scrap of wood
approximately 4" x 1" and drilling holes in it 1/2" apart. He made the
forks by bending cut lengths of coathanger wire and polished the cut ends,
which I then coated with clear nail enamel. I made a lot of hairpin lace
until the apparatus got lost in one of many moves :- (

Thank you both for the input. I think I will buy a set of dps and
bend them.
