Chopstick Hair Picks - April 5, 2012

         I took wooden chopsticks and sanded them to a point on one end.   I then added beads to a "head pin"  , drilled a tiny hole in the end and then glued the beads onto the top of the chopstick.   I can twirl my hair up and use these chopstick hair pick to hold it in place.
