Magic Brooms
| Here is the last craft we did in the Stroyan’s School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. We made brooms!
The handles were each hand chosen and worked by the children. (I didn’t make a broom this time). The broom is made out of alfalfa stems – we wracked our brains for good materials and couldn’t find any. Unfortunately, they shrink a lot when dry. For some reason I thought I would be able to get them tighter when wet but I had to re-tie my son’s broom and I suspect others did also. Finally, we stamped and embossed the name of the broom on the handles. My son now rides around the house constantly and wants to figure out some “muggle broom tricks”. |
