Make a Witch’s Broom As a Party Gift or for the School Class

These sweet (in the truest sense of the word) brooms are not only wonderful as a gift for your party guests. But if you are a teacher, you can indulge your class in a joyful activity just before Halloween! This witch’s broom craft consist of, among other things, pencils and lollipops. How to make them:

What you’ll need:

• Pencils
• Lollipops
• Paper tape
• Brown wrapping paper

Make sweet mini witch brooms step by step:

1. Using tape, wrap the lollipop around the bottom of a pencil. The ball should be directly at the end of the pencil.
2. Cut a strip of wrapping paper. It should be wide enough to hide part of the pencil as well as the lollipop. The longer it is, the bushier the broom will be.
3. Now cut the length of the paper strip many times on both sides (cut one side deeper than the other).
4. Fold the paper a few times and then wrap it around the pencil (the long “bristles” facing down).
5. Wrap tape around the area that wasn’t cut.

Witch’s Broom Craft with Felt for Halloween

You can also make a witch’s broom with felt, by using the same principle as with the wrapping paper. Just cut a strip several times (but now only on one side) and then wrap it around a broom handle, which you can also cut out of felt if you don’t have any sticks. You can also design the bristles differently, as you can see in the example above. For starters, combine with flame shapes like the first model or use zigzag scissors.

Angel Hair Witch’s Broom Craft Idea

Kataifi dough, also known as angel hair, has just the right look to be used for a witch’s broom craft! If you buy this dough ready-made, you only need 2 more ingredients to create the perfect edible decoration for your Halloween party.

What you’ll need:

• Angel hair pasta, room temperature
• Pretzel Sticks
• Kitchen scissors

Optional: 

• Melted butter
• Cinnamon and sugar

How to make your own edible witch’s brooms:

1. Line two baking sheets with baking paper.
2. Take a bundle of the dough and place it in front of you as flat as possible (the threads should point in one direction).
3. Cut the bundle into a length of 10 cm/3.93 in.
4. Insert a pretzel stick into the middle of the bundle, with the cut side of the dough facing up.
5. Take a few strands of dough and wrap them around the broom, about an inch below the base of the broom handle.
6. Hold the whole thing for a few seconds so that the two dough parts stick together due to the heat.
7. Now shorten the bottom end of the strands to create a straight broom.
8. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
9. Bake the witches’ brooms at 200 °C/392 ºF for about 20 minutes until they turn golden brown.

Depending on whether you want to eat them savory or sweet, you can also prepare a delicious dip, or you can first brush the witches’ brooms with the melted butter and then sprinkle cinnamon and sugar over them.

You think the idea is cool, but you don’t feel like baking? Then just use edible string and licorice instead of the dough!
