Simple Witch Brooms Halloween Craft
This craft idea may be a little difficult for very young children to grasp, but it’s a lot of fun with kids about age four to five and up. I originally did this craft with my daughter when she was four and she did most of it herself and had a great time.
It’s also a lot of fun… and really inexpensive… to do as a Halloween party craft or party favor, scouting craft for Halloween, and with groups of kids in a classroom. It even works with specific themes such as Harry Potter!
You’ll Need:
- Pencil
- Brown Paper (paper bags work great)
- Double sided tape
- Scissors
- Black marker
What to Do:
1. Cut the paper bag into strips that are about 3 1/2 inches wide and 4 or 5 inches long (exactness not necessary). Then cut across the length about 3 inches deep to create a fringe (Check the picture below if this isn’t clear).
2. Wrap a piece of double sided tape around the pencil. Start wrapping the fringe around the top of the pencil with the fringe going out the top. Keep adding tape and fringe until you have the amount of fullness you desire.
3. When complete, use the black marker to draw a thin line around the base of the paper to make it look like the tie that goes around the broom. That’s it!
Variations:
- You can also use pieces of raffia to create a more rustic broom.
- If you want to make this a magical broom, wrap a piece of star metalic garland around the base of the broom.
- Use hot glue or even white glue instead of double sided tape to make a more sturdy and permanent witch broom.
- You can even use a rubber band around the base of the broom to secure the paper to make this really quick!
