4 Ways to Reuse Chopsticks: Friday Quickie

Last week I mentioned to ditch the chopsticks when ordering from an Asian restaurant. But we all get the inevitable pair due to missed instructions, habit or a friend’s gift.

How can you reuse chopsticks?

  1. Use for gardening. Either use them to plant seeds or as soil/plant markers.
  2. Prop up growing plants. (Gardening part II.)
  3. Stir your coffee or tea.
  4. Decorate and use as a hair tie.
