      Chopsticks are well suited to keep long hair out of faces and can replace scrunchies, pins or headbands by being woven through a curled up ponytail. Clean the chopsticks and paint them with colorful lacquer paint or nail varnish. You can also glue beads, small rhinestones or ornamental plastic flowers on the top end and you will have a beautiful, personalized gift for someone with long hair.

    Art

      You can use chopsticks to stir and mix paint, but you might want to consider including them in pictures, sculptures or art installations. They can be added to collage paintings as door frames, beams or slender tree trunks, or placed into the hands of sculptures. In art installations, they can be used as support for other elements, or become the main feature by, among others, sticking out of Styrofoam balls or surfaces.

    Marionettes

      Make a cross with two chopsticks and secure it with string. Build a puppet with moveable arms and legs. Tie strings or wires around the hands and legs of the puppet, and fasten an additional string on its head. Secure the strings for the arms and legs at the end points of the chopstick cross, and secure the string leading from the head at the middle of the cross. Lift the chopstick bar and adjust the strings to allow you to move the puppet, and your marionette is ready for performance.
