I made two sticks and they work really great! They are about 12cm long. I took two colours of fimo and rolled them out long, then rolled them together :)
The leather hair thingy, was a leather cuff. I cut off the buckle and made a hole either side for the stick to go through. It also is great for holding your hair up :D
1
Tie your hair up in a high pony tail
2
Starting near your head, twist the pony tail around to the tip of the hair.
3
Wrap the twisted hair around the hair bobble in a bun. Either stick the end of the hair under the bobble or pin it to your head.
4
Stick the sticks through the bun from opposite sides to each other. They should be pretty secure :)
