Witchy Wednesday, making a miniature Witches broom by Kat Hazelton.

 

Wizard’s or witch’s broom 

The last in my series of very old tutorials I made a million moons ago. But I hope you all enjoyed them and it's nice to be able to share them here on my blog site. 

More new tutorials coming soon! 

You will need

• Bamboo kebab stick 
• Tacky glue
• Brown florists tape
• Secateurs or wood clippers
• Old scissors
• Cotton thread 
• Thatching material

 Instructions

1. Cut the bamboo kebab stick in half and remove the point. You'll have two slightly different sized sticks, perfect for making two brooms.

2. Wind the brown florist's tape down the stick, completely covering the stick and both ends.

3. Cut a piece of the coconut fibre thatching material about 3in long by about 1/2in diameter. Then dip about 1/4in or 1cm of the handle into tacky glue. Lay the handle on the bristles and gently bring the bristles around the handle. Use cotton thread to wind around the bristles 10 times before knotting and trimming.

Once the glue is dry your broom is ready for magical purposes! 

Extras..... Add ribbons, flowers and charms to your broom and give it as a gift to a friend to bring them luck. 

Other brooms I have more recently. These were made using sticks from my garden and using different materials for bristles including raffia and string.

Well I hope you enjoyed my tutorial, I hope it inspires you to have a go at creating. If you have any questions please get in touch via here or my Instagram page I am always happy to help if I can.
