Oh dear, what to do with all those chopsticks now that the sushi craze is so last season…
1. Give a jam jar table-top status
Stack and glue your chopsticks according to the size of your jar, alternating the thin and the thick ends.
2. Make designer place mats
Using the chain-stitch method, loop the sticks together with a piece of string.
3. Create a pot stand
Make this unique pot stand by tying together chopsticks with cable ties.
4. Build a storage unit
Stack and glue your chopsticks into a wide cube before adding more sticks to the centre to create compartments.
