DIY Broomstick from the backyard
Very easy,
I mean SUPER easy,
so easy that I created this within minutes
BUT it took much longer since I composed a video...
Anyways, go out and forage your backyard for:
Materials:
- Long stick (about 44-46" long)
- Mine was a little crooked but was the perfect height for me to hold it above my waist and the bottom would be touching the ground (this is best for a photoshoot!)
- A bunch of smaller sticks for the brush (about 20-22" long)
- Grab even the sticks with dried leaves, they easily come off or you can keep those leaves on
- 1-2 thick or strong rubber bands
- Blade (knife) to smooth down notches
- String/twine
- Glue (craft glue, no-sew glue, hot glue, etc.)
- Scissors
- Charms, I chose a pentagram
- Dried flowers
- Decorative ribbon
- Feathers
- Crystals
- Herbs
- You know what you want to make it your own!
- Safely shave off any imperfections or if the stick is too perfect shave off layers to give it a rugged look. I shaved off a couple of notches that would stick out by the handle.
- Double twist one rubber band around the stick end you want to use for the brush.
- Insert layers of sticks, a couple at a time. The rubber band will expand and tighten around the sticks, they really won't fall out (as I expected).
- Add another rubber band to ensure the first one won't snap, add more sticks for a fuller look.
- Tie twine or rope around the rubber band to hide it which also secures the sticks further. I wrapped the twine more than 20 times.
- Glue to knot the twine/rope. I used no-sew glue and it's still holding up!
- Add you accents. For charms you can added this to the end of your twine before tying/glueing it down. Further, added accents to the shaft and handle of the broom. If I had more time I would have added so much more but I had a photoshoot the next day!
- Optional: cut the ends of the brush if any sticks are too long, this helps with stability.

Updated photos of spell book pages from my Stregheria
Most of these spells/tips/information on all-things-witchy came from Pinterest.
I altered some ideas and added ingredients to the spells/sachets.
And there are [MANY] errors that give it "character".
I've been working on the spell book for over two years (summer 2018) and will keep updating the spell pages as they are completed.
*Might sell this book and start over...because who doesn't have 2+ years of free time?! Kidding, but I still might sell this book and other mini versions of it (another project) in the future.
All of the pages are named so if you're having a hard time finding that Pin on Pinterest just search for it by the Pin name (ctrl+F).
If you wish to write on both sides try sticking with a school marker (my sheet above in brown marker didn't bleed through).
Witches Tools
Magical Uses for Household Herbs
Poisonous Herbs
The Pentagram
Also a nice example of the wear & tear my book as endured, see the watermark on "Air".
Here's an example of how I used scrap paper to cover up my mistakes:

Candle Magic Omens

Spells: To Calm & Center Your Emotions I pasted over a scrap piece of paper to re-do the title of this spel, I unfortunately used the wrong shade of paper and it is noticeable. BUT I made many mistakes in this book and pasted over it with similar scrap paper and it was barley noticeable, so improvements! |
