You can find hairsticks everywhere on the internet and they are usually pretty expensive. Yet they are so easy to make.

You Will Need (7 things)

  • 1 Drill
  • 1 Jigsaw (Other saws may also work.)
  • 2 Chopsticks
  • Paint
  • Bead(s)
  • Thread
  • Crimp Beads

Steps (6 steps, 90 minutes)

  1. 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.

  2. 2

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

  3. 3

    Then take a pice of sandpaper and sand all rough parts.

  4. 4

    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. ^^)

  5. 5

    Now add the beads and prevent them from falling down with crimp beads.

  6. 6

    Use them for your bun. ;-)
