Keep the loop clear for holding
The folded bamboo loop gives each pick a distinct holding end. Leave the loop and a short section of shaft clear of the ingredients so the portion can be lifted without pinching the food. Arrange the picks with their grips easy to reach on the serving plate.
Thread prepared ingredients onto the pointed end with controlled pressure, keeping fingers out of the tip's path. Choose pieces that fit comfortably on the shaft rather than forcing it through hard or frozen food. The loop is a grip for the assembled portion, not a hanging attachment.
