Witchy broom....made by you!

I have used a cute little broom on a couple of the new Lizzie*Kate pillows.  Several have asked where they can buy them....surprise I made them and so can you.

Here is what you will need


The handle is made from a toothpick or bamboo skewer.  Using a pair of craft scissors cut a two inch length...using a toothpick just clip off the pointed end. 


Take a length of raffia and a accordian pleat it .  Wrap around the stick.


Take a 10 inch length of floss....black or a fun color used in your stitched piece...and wrap around the raffia.  Tie securely and add a drop of glue. 


Give the raffia a haircut and fluff out the ends....perfect little broom for those cute Halloween finishes.

The Pocket

Next comes the pocket....remember  your pocket can be any shape you want.  What we did is just a suggestion. Look at the template and you ...
