Then you could make as many chicken beads as you wish! Love the hair stick! Bet you make a statement, wearing those! @Denise: You could get one of those little plastic chickens from those farm yard sets and make a mold from it.

A few of my sticks that were 'gifted' looked more like these from dressy tresses http<strong>:</strong>//www.dressytresses.com/store/hsshort.asp - my faves being the charms styles so that i don't have to remake more sticks, just gift out charms:conspiratorial winks: but I have made a promise to someone that I would be making a Chinese zodiac rooster set for her but I have no idea how to make a “chicken” bead. Anyone have any ideas? BTW if this is the wrong thread/area to ask this, please let me know. I'm glad you like it. A few of my sticks that were 'gifted' looked more like these from dressy tresses

I had a few with just the walnut disk and dangled loops of beads, big fat stamped block topper in cinnabar poly with flat crystals on the sides, memory wire wraps that trailed from the top and spiraled like metalic tendrels.. not one picture, but plenty of happy buddies (i have been begging for days for pics). .

Use its own tension against the twist (and the previous mentioned skull damage when i was using steel pins - long and bad story) and then stuffing the second stick in for the Geisha look. I have been working up a retro skin for some of my ugly (plain) candle holders but s soon as i get that mess completed i will get those photos to you. Cheers, Denise Jocelyn,

Have tons of them, and also the wooden hair stix from Fire Mountain sales. My problem is those darn things fall out and I don't even notice,lol. Though out of desperation, I found if I twisted a matching rubber band on the bottom or top, hid by the hair, would keep them in place. @ Denise

To: Jocelyn. I am a hair 'thingy' nut and love to put up my hair with all kinds of crazy stuff. One of my favorites is good, old fashoined chop sticks. BUT instead of the pre-colored ones (which can work in a pinch)I can't have JUST that. I have been known to paint, cane, and/or wire all kinds of fun stuff to a plain pair to dress them up. BESTpart is that the blunt end of the stick doesn't cause skull damage when your in a rush. I have to take a few pics of the ones i have played with and share soon.
