Put your pick on your circuit board and trace around it with a pencil or pen, then cut it out with snips or scissors (scissors may not my strong enough).

If you want to bring out the copper, just sand both sides with sand paper (not too low of a grit), and do that till it's copper and green. I like to do this because it looks purty
You're Done!

I hope you liked this project. Be sure to tell me if I wasn't clear about something. Just remember that these have SMALL amounts of lead in them. So don't eat them. Not that you would, but I'm just saying. It's not a good idea. But there's not enough lead for it to be lethal. These picks are completely safe to use. But don't lick/eat them.
