I used about 5-7 glittery branches per actual tree branch. Repeat steps 2-3 until you have covered your tree branch end with enough glittery branches for your liking. Wrap twine tightly around where the two branches are glued together a few times. Hold the glittery branch in place until the glue dries. Place the glittery branch so that where it breaks off into smaller branches and fans out is right near where the real tree branch ends. Spray paint the tree branch black.Īfter the branch has dried, run a bead of hot glue on one glittery branch stem and glue it onto your tree branch near the bottom.

Remove all the smaller twigs and leaves from your large tree branch.

5-7 Glittery Branches in the color of your choice.

1 tree branch from your yard roughly four feet long and about 1 inch in diameter.

MAKE A WITCHES BROOM HOW TO

Here’s how you can whip up your own glittery, sparkly DIY witch broom this Halloween! How to Make a Witches Broom And you know what – I think these actually look better than a store bought glittery broom I bought a couple years back! Grunt agrees, so I’ll just go ahead and say it’s fact. If you ask me or the Circus, we’ll tell you that we prefer brooms of the glittery and sparkly variety.Īnd glittery brooms, we have! I made these using supplies from my own backyard and The Dollar Tree. So who knows what she will actually end up being?Įvery witch of course, needs a broom. The Circus says she’s going to be my black cat, but then some days, she says she’ll be a witch with me and then some days, she’s just going to be a dog. This year for Halloween, I’m going to be a ( not-so-basic) witch! Personally, I don’t think dressing up as a witch for Halloween ever goes out of style and I’m really excited to put my own personal spin on it this year.

I then wrapped some rope around each zip tie, using hot glue to secure it, making sure to keep the zip tie ends toward the back of my broom for visual purposes.Īnd that’s it! A few days (more like weeks with kids) of work and you’ve got yourself a custom witch’s broom! I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out.Learn how to make a witches broom using items from the Dollar Tree and your own yard! It’s so simple to make this sparkly DIY witch broom that you’ll only be sorry you didn’t make one sooner! The extra length allowed me to only use one zip tie for each section, making it easier to conceal. I used wider and much longer zip ties on the top layer. This gave my broom more volume and made it look much thicker. I then placed the second bundle, along with the rest of the first, over top of the first bundle.

After a little bit of trial and error, I placed 3/4 of one bundle around the end of the broom first, and secured it with two zip ties. Next, I purchased two bundles of straw from Hobby Lobby to use for the brush portion of my broom. Then repeat.Īfter finally putting my sander to rest, I stained the wood with some leftover stain we had around the house. Don’t stop sanding until your hand cramps up and you have to stop. When you think you’re done sanding, sand some more. Then I took an electric sander and started sanding my heart out to round the edges. 🙂Īfter purchasing the 2×8, I then drew the outline of my broom onto the wood and Logan cut it out with a jigsaw. A few days later we were back at it though and Logan was not wearing his flip flops this time. While searching for the perfect piece, another piece fell from the top rafters and hit Logan in the ankle, resulting in a trip to the ER and a few stitches. This simple task proved to be harder than it sounds. I started by purchasing a 2×8 long piece of wood. Isn’t that what any self respecting DIY-er would do? So, after finally giving up on my search, I decided to make my own. I knew I wanted to add a witch’s broom to my front door decor, but being the picky person that I am, couldn’t find the perfect one.

I have been thinking about and planning this project for several years now.
