I started with a 1/4 inch thick plank of Poplar craft board purchased from Lowes. These do not require use of a plane, [but I do use a band sander to take off all edges and some thickness around the tines].
then I drew them freehand. I did cut with a band saw. But I wish I had purchased a jig saw instead. I will make more and color them my usual colors to match my clothes including blues and turquois. I have discovered that The forks with wider tops than tines hold incredibly well. So I am making more of those. Will post at a later date.

I simply painted and left three of the forks plain.
action shot. These forks hold for hours and I can even sleep in them.

Beautiful!
I love this thread, I think it’s great to make your own hairtoys. You people gave me the idea to make my own, maybe I will post pictures of them someday.
Here are 3 more of the last batch of forks

Nice idea to paint them so subtly bparnell75
I can't stop watching your toys! You are amazing!
Maybe one day I'll make something myself...
