Toothpicks and Palm Pics

Dollar Tree cocktail stirrers.
They were about $1.25 per pack of ten, so 13 cents each.
Day glo green and flat, styrene plastic.
My plan for the Kiss Kiss Club was to make slots in the base and push these into them.  Then they can be removed so I could re-arrange the set up as needed.
Decent detail on the trunk and okay on the fronds.
Since these are decorative palms I figure they could look the same in a nightclub setting.  Painted up they look okay I think.  Unpainted they may end up decorating some casinos, hotels or villain lairs.
I like using these kinds of picks for model work.  Bamboo shreds and causes splinters.
The plastic end makes them easy to find on a crowded table.
Longer than most toothpicks they are more versatile. 
Nice and smooth, and sharp.
