There's a little machine you can buy that will turn a round toothpick
into a flat one. Basically, it looks like a long miniature taco
press. You put a round toothpick in it, hammer it shut, and voila, a
flat toothpick emerges. They're also useful for making rolled stuffed
chives.

I don't have a link to give you, but you can probably find a
description and source for it via a Google search.

Good luck. HTH, etc.
