There are 2 methods i know of:

tools:
sheath / pocket knife
(tin snips)
(hammer)


materials:
hazel wand about the similar diameter to your index finger (or thumb if you have small hands)
rubber-bands
(tin can)
(tacks / small nails)




They both use a short length of hazel (or similar) wand, approx. 6 cm long, which is split in half down the grain. green wood is easier to work with and it advisable to remove the bark, to avoid tannin staining.


first method:
Each side is then shaved, so that the middle is wider then each end.
These half's are then re-secured back together by a rubber-band, wound several times round.




second method was used by the old gypsies:
Only one end of each is shaved to a taper, the half's are put back together so a V shape is created.
They are then secured back together using strip of old tin can and a short tack.


sorry i don't have any pics, but I'm sure a short Google will reveal something of interest
