Need a new hair accessory? Try putting chopsticks with super cute charms in your hair!

Steps

  1. Collect the things you'll need. They are listed below.

     

  2. Take the elastic and stretch it around the end of the chopstick. Tie a knot and cut a long end of about 6 inches.
  3. Select your beads. Make sure you have 2 of each bead, with at least 2 seed beads(one per chopstick.)
  4. String on the beads. Put a seed bead at the bottom.
  5. Take the end of the elastic and string it back through all of the beads EXCEPT the seed bead at the bottom.
  6. Adjust the beads as needed to push the top bead to the chopstick.
  7. Tie the elastic to itself at the top of the chopstick. Cut excess elastic.
  8. To wear, put your hair in a bun. Slide the chopsticks under the bun.

     


Tips

  • Make charms in many colors!
  • Buy or make actual charms, like the ones for charm bracelets. Thread these at the bottom instead of seed beads.
  • Use prettily patterned or colored beads.
  • These can slide of the chopsticks, so one pair of chopsticks, thousands of possibilities.
  • Please don't be particular about the use of the origin of parts and enjoy your original design.

 

Warnings

  • Be careful with scissors!
  • Keep beads and charms away from small children, as beads can be a choking hazard.
