Writing Witch Brooms

This is a fun and easy way to decorate your pencil or pen, especially if you're a Harry Potter fan or you're looking for a quick and easy Halloween project.

You'll Need:

• Pencil
• Brown Paper (paper bags work great)
• Double sided tape
• Scissors
• Black marker

What to Do:

1. Cut the paper bag into strips that are about 3 1/2 inches wide and 4 or 5 inches long (exactness not necessary). Then cut across the length about 3 inches deep to create a fringe (Check the picture below if this isn’t clear).

2. Wrap a piece of double sided tape around the pencil. Start wrapping the fringe around the top of the pencil with the fringe going out the top. Keep adding tape and fringe until you have the amount of fullness you desire.

3. When complete, use the black marker to draw a thin line around the base of the paper to make it look like the tie that goes around the broom. That’s it!

Variations:

• You can also use pieces of raffia to create a more rustic broom.

• If you want to make this a magical broom, wrap a piece of star metalic garland around the base of the broom.

• Use hot glue or even white glue instead of double sided tape to make a more sturdy and permanent witch broom.
