Make Flavored Toothpicks

Make Flavored Toothpicks


Flavored toothpicks are handy for coping with an oral fixation. Having something to turn to besides a cigarette or your fingernails can help you to break a bad habit. Using flavored toothpicks to fall back on when the urge hits gives you something tasty to put in your mouth instead. They can also help to deal with cravings when the munchies come on. Instead of buying flavored toothpicks at expensive shops, you can make them yourself. Everything you need can probably be found in your cupboard or at the grocery store.


Instructions








1. Pour 1 to 2 oz. of flavored oil into the jar. Put in the toothpicks into the jar of oil and seal the lid. Allow them to soak overnight.








2. Take the toothpicks out of the oil and spread them out on a cookie sheet, plastic wrap or wax paper. Allow them to dry. If you want the toothpicks to dry faster, you can place them on a cookie sheet and bake them in the oven at 250 degrees until the toothpicks are dry, which usually takes about 5 to 10 minutes.


3. Put the toothpicks into a plastic zipper bag or any other clean case for carrying. Flavored toothpicks can keep for months after they are dried.
