Chopsticks
into Hairsticks!
Sent in by BrendaLea Abbott from DuQuoin, Illinois. I have taken chop sticks and cut a 2-3 portion off to make them more useable size as well as using purchased wooden hairsticks. If I use chopstick I do sand the end so that it is smooth and I usually drill a hole across the width and do peyote around the end for about an inch or so and anchor that in the hole that I drilled. I also will string several sets of matching beads from the end, as dangles. Using different beads in matching colors. These dangles make the hairstick more of a piece of jewelry. If I use a purchased hairstick, they are normally
drilled at the end so that an eye pin can be glued These hairsticks are fairly fast and easy to make and for anyone with long hair they are an extra ornament/jewelry to be worn. NOTE: when glueing an eye pin in the hole DO NOT use E-6000 as it is pliable and eye pin will not be secure. It is best to use a firm bonding glue.
