Some of the lengths of raffia are naturally quite thick. So I used a pair of scissors and carefully cut up the lengths of raffia to thin out the fibres.

I hope my tutorial inspires you to have a go at making your own witches broom. Remember these are for ornamental purposes only and depending on the materials used may not be suitable for children. 

Some of my decorated brooms
I used all sorts of bits and bobs to decorate them. Beads, dried floristry items, sequins, crafting fibres, string and even plastic netted bag from lemons we bought at the supermarket.
