How to Make a Pioneer Broom - Week 2

Linda shows us just how easy it is to make an old fashioned broom using a few items.

 

Supplies:

• Pine straw
• Yarn or string
• Scissors to cut yarn and pine straw
• Dowel or tube from hanger

 

Directions:

1. Cut straw pieces to scale for the size of your broom.
2. Gather the straw to cover the bottom part of the dowel and begin wrapping yarn or twine to secure the straw in place.
3. Triple knot then cut the yarn, twine or string.

This would work for Addy and Felicity too. Make several to sell in your mercantile.
