Can you use a bristle to make snapper picks?

Being newish I've only recently found out about snapper picks. It looks like most are being made from bicycle spokes. My question though is can they be made out of sweeper bristle?
If it's stupid, and it works, then it's not stupid.

Street bristles are just fine. Use whatever your prefer and have an easier access to.

Thanks for the link! That one was made with a wiper insert which I understand is much more flexible than the lengths of bristle. I'm getting another bunch of bristles this week so I'll give it a try over the next few days and see.
