  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.

  Step 2

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

• 

  Step 3

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

• 

  Step 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. ^^)

  Step 5

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

• 

  Step 6

  Use them for your bun. ;-)

I don't have the tools either. But I have nice neighbours who sometimes lend me stuff. ;)

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.
