We will need:
- pointed metal wand or pin;
- old plastic card;
- The old pick or shape that will need to be circled;
- felt-tip pen;
- scissors.
So what do we need to do.
First of all, we take a felt-tip pen and a shape and draw a shape of a pick on an old plastic card, which we will need to cut out. If you have any interesting cards, then you can easily make a pick with a picture.
The next step is to carefully cut our future pick along the line. It is very important that the line is clear, but not very deep (this is the case if you circle the workpiece not with a felt-tip pen, but with a pin or a sharp stick), if the line is deep, you will have to cut exactly along it, otherwise the edges of the pick will hang around a lot. But then we will polish it all the same and finish it evenly.
We should get a blank, the edges of which will need to be wiped. Now we take paper or a rag or even a carpet and begin to overwrite all the bumps. All edges are overwritten easily, so you need to be very careful, one wrong move and you may have an acute angle on your lecturer.
Mashing the edges of the mediator should be done in arcuate movements to give it an even shape.
We got a bit shaggy, but even edges of the workpiece.
Now we wipe the surface. We put the mediator horizontally and begin to rub it on paper, so we remove the shaggy. The remains of grated plastic leave the edges. You can also use a nail file in order to remove roughness.
Everything, our pick is ready. They need to play either in battle or with a pinch.You can make a large pick or small one, this will not change the quality of your guitar playing.
