Abstract
A rug hooking device is disclosed, wherein the device assists with handling and completing rug hooking projects. The rug hooking device comprises a base component that is configured in a wooden square with a square hole in the center and provides enough room to staple on backing. The base component includes two wooden claws with a board screwed in between the wooden claws. The wooden claws are then inserted onto a table edge and secured via a C-style clamp to tighten it to the table surface. The base component includes two slots which allow for accessory plates to be slid in to accommodate extra project sizes.
