Dress up your tresses

Try this
Design your own distinctive hair decorations with a set of wooden chopsticks and a few spare craft supplies. Here’s how: Ask an adult to use a small handsaw or needle-nose pliers to cut the tops off a pair of wooden chopsticks so that they measure about 6 inches. Sharpen the pointed ends in a pencil sharpener and dull the points with a nail file. Paint them if you’d like.

For beaded chopsticks, cut a 10-inch length of wire and centre it about 1½ 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. For feathered chopsticks, glue feathers to the top of the stick and wrap them tightly with wire. To display your dazzlingly decorated sticks, poke them into a bun or ponytail.
