Toothpicks

[JTTHECLOCKMAN]

Does anyone know where I may get round colored plastic toothpicks????

 

I got some colored ones on line from the only place I could find and that was Ward's natural science. But they were not round the were flat.

 

I need thousands of them in different colors. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have a lead on some and will check it out tomorrow. I would rather not say at this time. If it does come out half way decent I will post a photo or two. Thanks everyone.

why not color your own, buy plain, then soak in food coloring.

Just a thought hmmm....

I'm with Merlin on this one JT............that's what I would do. Seems silly to pay for colored ones when it would be simple to color your own and get exactly what you want. I'm intrigued with whatever you could be using them for...........hope it works out and you can share photos with us!

It is not that simple. The wood ones are made with a close grain wood and getting the stain to penetrate all the way through has been a problem. I need to find another way to get the color all the way through. I am thinking I may boil the sticks before placeing in the stainand this will open them up more. I am experimenting a little. Haven't worked out all the details yet.
