Instructions
  1. Chopstick Hair Ornaments - Step 1 Using a small handsaw or needle-nose pliers, cut the tops off the chopsticks so they measure about 6 inches.

  2. Sharpen the pointed ends in a pencil sharpener and dull the points with a nail file. Paint them if you'd like.

  3. Chopstick Hair Ornaments - Step 2 For beaded chopsticks, cut a 10-inch length of wire and center it about 1 1/2 inches from the top of the chopstick. Wrap it tightly around the stick several times, then twist the two portions of wire together a few times. Thread beads onto the wire, bend the ends over, and clip off the excess.

  4. For feathered chopsticks, glue feathers to the top of the stick and wrap them tightly with wire.

  5. To display your dazzlingly decorated sticks, poke them into a bun or ponytail.
