Not all cafes and restaurants have cups with toothpicks on the tables. Meanwhile, some visitors, and especially those with large distances between the teeth, are irritated by pieces of food stuck between the teeth. A toothpick can be made very quickly from available tools.
It is necessary
- - Match;
- - Nailfile;
- - Knife or scissors;
- - Skewer for sandwiches;
- - A piece of paper.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are in the habit of carrying a manicure set and matches with you, you can make a toothpick very quickly. Pull out the match and cut off the head from it. This can be done with nail scissors or even a restaurant knife. Grind the match on one side so that you get something like a needle. In order not to plant a splinter, treat the toothpick with a manicure file.
Step 2
But not everyone carries a manicure set with them, and matches too. Sometimes you have to look for suitable materials right on the table. If you are in a decent cafe and ordered sandwiches, they will also serve you toothpick material. Sandwiches are often cleaved with a plastic skewer. Using a restaurant knife, cut off the tip of the skewer. You will need a piece of 2-3 centimeters. Sharpen it sharper with the same knife.
Step 3
If you have absolutely nothing suitable at hand, and you cannot do without a toothpick, find at least a piece of paper. You can even use a check from the same cafe. Tear off a square piece about 2x2 cm in size from it. The shape does not matter in this case - you just need to make a dense pointed stick out of this piece. Fold the square diagonally. Fold the resulting triangle twice, then in half. This will be enough.
