Materials for the Paper Witch Broom
Alright, grab your tiny witches and warlocks, it’s broom-making time! Before you know it, your living room will be a full-on flight school. Here’s what you’ll need to get those little hands crafting some Halloween magic:
- Paper plate – This is where the broom bristles come from. Basically, it’s a broom in disguise.
- Yellow construction paper – The perfect pop of color for that broom band.
- Brown acrylic paint – Because no self-respecting broom would be caught flying around unpainted.
- Jumbo craft stick – The handle! AKA where all the whooshing and zooming power comes from.
- Glue stick – For holding everything together, because magic can only do so much.
- Scissors – Snip, trim, and shape that paper plate into broom bristles.
Got your stuff? Good. Because once the paint hits that plate, your kid’s about to enter their witchy era and you’re just along for the ride.
How to Make a Paper Broom Craft
Every great witch needs a broom — and luckily, this one doesn’t require any midnight moonlight or eye of newt. Just a paper plate, a little paint, and a whole lot of imagination. Grab your mini witches, roll up those sleeves, and let’s make some broomstick magic happen!
Step 1: Gather your supplies
Time to round up the goods! You know the drill…paint, glue, scissors, and probably a kid insisting they “don’t need help.” Once the table looks like a craft store exploded, you’re ready for broom duty.
Step 2: Trace and cut your broom shape
Use the printable template to trace the broom outline onto your paper plate, then cut it out. Don’t stress if your lines wobble…that’s called “authentic, well-loved broom energy.” If you’re freehanding it, even better. Wonky brooms fly faster.
Step 3: Paint the broom
Time to bring your broom to life! Brush on that brown paint, and let your little witch go wild with it. Big strokes, tiny splats, dramatic flourishes. Every broom has its own story. Let it dry before moving on (or wave it dramatically until your arm gets tired).
Step 4: Cut the broom band
Grab your construction paper and cut a narrow strip using the template as a guide. This little band gives your broom its classic “just came from the witch’s workshop” look. Feel free to add extra flair if your witch has a sense of style.
Step 5: Glue it all together
Now it’s time to assemble your masterpiece. Glue the craft stick to the back of the broom for the handle, then add the yellow band where the bristles meet the stick. Hold it in place for a second or chant “Stickius Glueius Maximus!” for good measure.
Step 6: Add the fringe
Once everything’s dry, it’s fringe time! Snip a few short cuts into the bottom of the paper plate to make your broom look nice and sweepy. A few uneven edges? Perfect. Real witches don’t do straight lines.
Step 7: Show it off!
Stand back, admire that broom, and prepare for takeoff. Hang it up, prop it by your other Halloween crafts, or let your little witch take it for an immediate spin around the room.
