All three picks are composed of a long plastic stem with a plastic decoration on the end. One pick has the figure of a snowman. The second has a flat representation of a stylized Santa Claus. The third pick has a flower with a butterfly attached. The flower is attached to the stem by gluing and the butterfly is glued to the flower.
