Description

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

Instructions

  1. Small 18839

    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. Small 18848

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

  3. Small 18851

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

  4. Small 18853

    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. Small 18854

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

  6. Small 18855

    Use them for your bun. ;-)
