I have 1 m used aluminum wire at the office. It is 2mm thick, but I thick 3mm or above should be better.

Stick

STEP 3: Put the Chopsticks in the Pot

STEP 4: Curl the Wire on the Chopstick

STEP 5: Shape the Wire

Any shape should be ok.

STEP 6: Twist the Stem Surround the Wire

Wait a few days for the stem become stable, then cut the extra parts of chopsticks.
