Looking for a simple mini craft to add to your Halloween decorations? These miniature witch brooms are super easy and inexpensive – you may just end up with a whole bunch of them in your house. You may even have all the supplies at home already!
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
THE SUPPLIES:
- Toothpick
- Twine
- Rubberband (optional)
THE TOOLS
- Scissors
STEPS
STEP 1: Cut the Twine
Cut about 10 or so pieces of twine (The number of pieces will determine how thick your broom will be). These should roughly be about twice the length of your toothpick. Don’t worry about measuring them exactly – you will get a chance to even them out at the end.
Cut 2 extra pieces – they can be smaller than the 10 pieces (again – you can cut off the excess here. It will be used to tie the broom head together).
If you are using a rubberband, you can skip this step: Cut another piece of twine roughly about the size of the toothpick (this will be used to tie the broom head together).
STEP 2: Create the Broom Head
Separate the 10 or so pieces of twine into halves.
Using the two smaller pieces, tie a knot in the middle of both halves. This will help keep the twine in place. Cut the excess from the smaller bit of twine that you just tied.
Fold both pieces in half over the knots.
Then place the toothpick in the middle of the folded pieces. You’ll want about ⅔ of the toothpick to stick out (this is the broom handle).
STEP 3: Tie the Head
Using a rubber band or the other pieces of twine, tie the head together (the tie should be relatively close to the top of the fold to ensure you get the toothpick as well).
STEP 4: Adjust the Broom Head
To make the craft look a bit more like a broom, cut the bottoms to even it out. Then spread the pieces of twine slightly. (If you’re making a few of our other Halloween Crafts you may want to save these extra bits of twine later on for our Cauldron Craft)
STEP 5: The Finished Product
