Q&A for How to Make Chopsticks at Home

Anything that is non toxic and water resistant. It might help if it's a more liquid type of glue.

No. Pencils are too thick, and you don't want graphite on your food. Your best bet would be heading down to a craft store and buying wooden dowels. You could also select two sticks that are thin yet sturdy from a dead tree; just be certain that the wood is safe for you.

Easy! Just find a dead tree and select two thin yet sturdy sticks. Shave off any bark carefully. Then if you want to, you can carve designs into them. To finish them off, give them a good sand. Make them nice and smooth.
