Also, PYRO posted a great snap pick tutorial that I dug up from a search last week. Here we are:

To me, it's a bit clearer than the one Kayvon posted, but that's personal preference. PYRO's is made from a wiper blade insert, using 2 pairs of pliers (one needle nose, and one standard wider one) to make the bend, and NO heat, it'll destroy the metal, making it too brittle and likely to break. Depending on how wide your material is, you could put a pick end onto the bottom edge of the snap pick, but of the material is less than 3 or 4 mm wide, it might weaken the metal too much. I'll be trying a few made from coat hangers, more or less practise ones, then a good version from a wiper blade insert (several dozen coat hangers vs. one wiper blade insert, so might as well do it right on the wiper insert, can just fool around with the coat hangers).
Oh, and thanks to PYRO1234321 for all the above info.
