Chopstick Wrappers. Our family love all things Asian – and we have been lucky enough to travel as a family to Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, and Japan.
We eat a lot of stir fry’s and Asian inspired meals, and we are all pretty handy with chopsticks! Chopstick wrappers can be easily made from origami paper, and add a nice touch to an Asian inspired meal. To make each chopstick wrapper you need 1 sheet of origami paper 6 x 6 inches. Fold the sheet of paper in half. Open out and then fold both long edges into the midline and fold, so that the fold lines divide the paper into four columns. Open out so that the wrong side is facing up. Fold the right side into the midline. Fold the left side over as photographed.

Are you excited? Here's how the magic happens- 1. From the top of each moulding, measure and mark 6" down with your pencil. 2. With your drill and 3/4" spade bit, drill a hole at your mark. Making the cover: Since the cover is made using a vintage crocheted cloth, what you have readily available to use may be a different measurement.
(Hint: A twin sized sheet fits this tent frame almost perfectly!) 1. TIPS: For a little extra detail and to keep the tent cover taut, I fed twine through some holes of the cover and tied it to the legs of the frame. Again, how you make this tent cover will vary depending on the size of the crocheted cover you find and decide to use. DIY Pallet Swing Bed. Oh the endless things you can do with pallets!
