i put my hair up with chopstick all of the time and it's pretty easy -- but you have to have relatively coarse hair.
first twist your hair into a bun or french twist.
take one stick and insert it somewhat shallowly crosswise (along the x-axis) through the twist of hair, when about 3 inches of the stick has emerged on the other side of the hair lift the thick end of the stick (the part that has not gone through the hair) and as the pointy end turn toward the hair again insert it deeper into the twist and push through. if you had inserted the stick too deeply in the first insertion you will not be able to flip the stick over and will have to start over. i find that this flip is necessary for keeping the sticks in your hair.
repeat the above steps with the 2nd stick starting from the opposite side.
