Going to do a how-to on making or reconfiguring umbrella picks, in Torchguys thread
"Lantern umbrella picks-- still available anywhere?" he asked about where to buy these.
Not knowing where to buy them I thought I may be able to make some.
This is what I came up with....

So what is this?
It is what they call Joss paper.(also known as ghost money)
You can fine these at Asian grocery stores,(Mostly Chinese)

Ever since I was a kid I loved the Chinese writing on the fireworks we would buy.
It was so strange, items such as these can be used to make your umbrella picks.
Round designs works best for sure but use what you like best.
