Step 1:

Take the first chopstick and hold it like a pencil. Put your fingers towards the top, which is usually the thicker end.

Step 2:

Now turn your hand so it is facing in front of you.  Now take the second chopstick and place it on top of the other chopstick and using your thumb press it against your index finger. Your fingers should be a little curved.

Step 3:

Now use your thumb to move the top chopstick to carefully open and close the ends of the chopsticks. In time you will learn how to properly use them.
