Make a gorgeous Dragon's Egg

Step 8Cut off cocktail stick handle

Cut off cocktail stick handle
Carefully cut off the cocktail stick as close as possible to the base.

Either use a strong pair of kitchen scissors or better still a pair of wire cutters (blades meet rather than shear).

Do not rest the Dragon's Egg on anything and use force that could translate to the Dragon's Egg itself, when cutting off the stick.

If you want you could place the cocktail stick in a vice and hacksaw it through carefully.

Have you tried using the gun to reheat the glue? When it melts it should be simple to pull the stick out.
