Project Crawl: The Chopping Block

Chopsticks. If you pick up your favorite take-out on a regular basis, chances are you have a few extra pairs of these utensils lying around. However, don’t throw them out quite yet. There are lots of other creative ways to put these sticks to use!

Around the House

HGTV has more than one way to reuse chopsticks around your home, courtesy of designer Danny Seo. Whether it’s a coaster, placemat or even table runner, HGTV has your decorating issues solved!

Knit one, chop two

If you’re a knitter, you’ll love this idea. FamilyFun.com takes plain chopsticks and turns them into cute knitting needles, ready for any age.

A Bright Idea

No need running to Meijer for a boring old lamp shade. Not when you have chopsticks to use! Clean Home Journal has great, easy instructions to light up any room.

“Do not point with your chopsticks to something or somebody.”
I had no idea there were “dos” and “don’ts” when it came to chopsticks, but Japan-Guide.com has some important reminders to make sure you don’t make a fool of yourself at the dinner table, such as “Do not spear food with your chopsticks.”
