I use an orange stick that you find in the health and beauty aisle of most stores. If you google orange stick you will find pictures of them if you don't know what I'm talking about. It is used for manicures and to push cuticles back. It is a wooden dowel with a pointed end on one end and a slanted end on the other. The slanted end is a great tool for folding things over, holding things etc. They usually come 3-5 or more to a package and are quite inexpensive. I'm not sure why they are called orange sticks because they are not orange at all nor are they used for oranges!
