Pretty hairsticks made from simple bamboo chopsticks
You can find hairsticks everywhere on the internet and they are usually pretty expensive. Yet they are so easy to make.

    Step 1

    Chopsticks usually are to long to use in your Hair, so the first thing to do is to short them a litle bit. How much you cut of depends on how thick and long your hair is, but in general they should be about 15 - 18 cm long.
    After that use the drill to make a small hole at the thicker end.

    Now point the end opposite to the hole with a pencil sharpener.

    Now paint them. I've tried several paints, even nailpolish works.
    But something waterproof might pay off, otherwise use glaze. ;-)

    After that pull a piece of thread through the hole and and knot it, so that both ends are equally long. (Or not, if you want a little asymmetry. ^^)

Great idea! I don't have the tools to do it (maybe will put them on my wish list for next Christmas though!), otherwise I would definitely give this a try.
