How to Make Witches Broom from Items from Your Backyard
Tomorrow I will be revealing am most witchy Halloween mantel, but before I do I wanted to show you the star of the show and how I made it. I want to show you how easy it is to make a handmade witches broom. Let’s learn how to make a witches broom.
This morning while was out feeding my goats, I was looking over all the weeds I have in my backyard I knew that there was something I could use them for. I am often overwhelmed by all the stuff that I have to do in my yard. But this was one of those moments I was relieved I still had some dead tall grass at the back of our lot. With so much going on, I was busy thinking about how I was going to decorate my Halloween mantel and I realized I can make a witches broom out of all these weeds!
So I grabbed my tree trimmers and I went to work. I cut down tall grass, found a limb from some tree trimming we did, and grabbed some other random dried weeds. My goats continued to bellow in the background while I was making quick work of all the cutting and trimming. I think the goats thought it was for them…not this time guys!
What I used to make a witches broom:
- tree limb, you can use a bamboo stick, or a dowel with a wider circumference
- twine or rope
- tall cut grass, dead weeds, store bought dried grass
This DIY witches broom is really easy to make, In fact I made a quick video for you to watch:

Looks like I’ll be making a broom tonight! I have a great long piece of driftwood that’s curvy that will look awesome as a broom. Thanks for the idea
Awesome!
This is so different! I may make this for the front porch. I am curious though. After you finished wrapping your twine around, how did you tie it off and secure it since it was only one continuous strand of twine?
Yes I secured it and tied it off.
The broom project is very cute. A clever project. Would you be so kind to share the name and source of the tune you had playing during the diy video. It was so upbeat and lively. Thank you
