I would make it on a dowel. A toothpick might be too small.

I honestly have toothpicks that are pretty long, so I use would use them for everything under 40 base strings. You probably don't have them though, so I say go for dowel 🙂

I’m pretty sure both would work but I prefer dowels because they are more sturdy

you should probably use a dowel or even a skewer for it.

honestly, it sounds weird but I use coffee stirrers and they work great 😜 (plus they're really cheap so that's just a bonus)

I would probably use a dowel because it is longer, thicker and more durable. I know from past experiences that sometimes a toothpick can break when you are making your bracelet. Hope this helps!

I think a dowel but you may have to cut it shorter depending on how long your dowels are
