This is a chopstick-making experience plan where you polish the chopsticks by applying patterns to them using sandpaper. Since no sharp tools are used, even children can experience this safely. There is no need to worry about skin rashes. The color and shape of the pattern change depending on the size of the chopsticks and the direction in which they are sharpened.
