Craft Supplies:
Before you get started, gather all the materials you’ll need for this project. Having everything on hand will make the crafting process smoother and more enjoyable.
- Large Paper Plate
- Craft Scissors
- Brown Craft Paint
- Paint Brush
- Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
- School Glue
- Scrapbook Paper
Directions:
Now that you have all your materials ready, it’s time to start crafting. Follow these steps to create your very own paper plate broom.
- First things first – take your paper plate and cut it into fourths. Straight up the center to make TWO equal pieces and then cutting one of those halves again to make TWO triangle pieces. You only need one fourth per broom stick craft. Either repeat the craft or save the other pieces for a rainy day.
- Now that you have your paper plate piece, squirt some BROWN craft paint on it.
- Use the foam paint brush to paint the small paper plate piece completely.
- Set it aside to allow it to dry completely.
- Once dry, cut a fringe along the bigger edge to create the bristles.
- Use your hands to curl each strand.
- To finish off the Paper Plate Witch Broom craft, glue your decorated triangle piece to one end of your jumbo popsicle stick.
- Polish it off with a small rectangle scrapbook piece to “seal” it all together.
- Then display it proudly for ALL to see!
- Don’t forget to share pictures of your paper broom with us on your various social media sites! #gluedtomycrafts
