Find a good tree branch to use for the handle (a little crooked works best). Take some straw (pine needles can also be used) and tie it into many small bundles using strong thread or string. Tie each bundle as tight as possible. Then begin attaching the bundles around the bottom of the branch, tying them one or two at a time, winding string around and then adding more. When you get to the last bundle, wrap the string around that one and tie it off tight.

Re: Homemade Witches Broom
Sun, November 11, 2007 - 12:36 AMThanks Dee for the directions! I have been collection white birch branches for a long time now(for the bristles) and I found an oak branch for the handle but I didn't know how to put it together. When I am done, I will post a picture.

For my husbands and I Handfasting we mad a broom out of willow branchs (for the broom part), we added some herbs as well as wildflowers and ribbon, then tied the whole thing with organic hemp rope! It was beutifull, unfortunitlly thr campground owner found out we were pagan and out things started dissappering, including the broom! (texas go figure..) -

Thu, November 1, 2007 - 6:55 AMSarah, that sucks! I just moved to Texas and still proudly wear my pentacle, so far so good... (no one has harrassed me or even commented, yet...) I'm still waiting for that, but maybe it's cause I'm in Austin...
Anyway sorry to hear about your misfortune. -
