If you are someone who struggles to use them, below are tips to guide you:
- The first step is to take the first stick and place it in your dominant hand.
- Pinch the chopstick a little above the middle with your thumb and your forefinger.
- Bend your ring finger across the stick.
- There should be a hole between the place where you have placed the stick.
- Insert another stick into the hole.
- Rest the other side of the chopsticks on the tip of your middle finger.
- Wrap the top portion of your middle finger around the chopstick.
- Use your thumb to grip the stick nice and tightly.
