Daisy-Topped Hors d'Oeuvres Toothpicks via Martha Stewart

Decorative toothpicks (or food picks, rather, if we're being precise) are a fun and easy way to perk up party appetizers. You can DIY these pretty picks—think ribbons and decorative tape—or, if you're not the crafty kind, you can also buy them. They can be practical or simply decorative - you pick! Or, er, they pick. You get the idea.
