You are now going to take the first chopstick and hold it about three quarters of the way up.
Do this by placing it in the crook of your hand between the thumb and forefinger and gripping it between the tips of the thumb and middle finger.
Then slightly move your thumb and forefinger so that the chopstick is now gripped between the first (outer) knuckle of both.
Your thumb should be pointing towards the end of your forefinger and halfway between your middle finger and forefinger.

Now take the other chopstick and grip it, again about three quarters along, between tips of thumb and forefinger.
If you move your forefinger, the chopstick should be lying along its length.
Tap the ends on the table so that they are the same length and then move your forefinger in a pincer movement and that should be it.
You can practise with small objects.

Do they call them chopsticks cos you use them to stick food in your chops?
