Beaded hair sticks are a fun accessory to make and to wear. This pattern is designed to mirror the bargello pattern that is so popular in quilting.

The colors I chose are all earth tones, but they could easily be changed to match any outfit you have.

The beadwork will fit nicely on a disposable chopstick which can be trimmed to any length or used as is.

The two page pattern features

• a full-color graph style beading chart for the beadwork section
• a color key with suggested delica bead colors and bead counts
• suggestions to help you prepare your chopstick for beading
• detailed instructions in word and graph form to help you create the fringe
• suggested bead colors and bead counts for the fringe
• color photos during construction and of the finished piece
