Christmas preparations have
begun. Here's a home decorating idea
that will sweep you off your feet
A Christmas Broom
Mary Muir, Polka Dot Fabrics in
Stratford displays this month's
decoration for you to make.
Supplies Required
24" (60 cm) straw broom
3 lengths of plaid ribbon approx-
imately one inch (2.5 cm) wide:
• 26" (65 cm)
• 2 x 18" (46 cm)
• 60" (150 cm)
3 pine sprigs, 1 silk poinsettia
3 gold -coloured nine cones
Take the 26" (66 cm) ribbon and
starting at the top twist the ribbon
around the broom handle. The rib-
bon should twist six times around the
handle of the broom. Glue the ribbon
at the top and bottom of the broom
handle.
Fold both 18" (46 cm) ribbon
pieces in half to make the tails for the
centre of your broom. To make
pointed ends on the ribbon tails, fold
the end in half lengthwise and snip
from fold to edges on an angle.
Glue both ribbons just under the
bottom of the broom handle. Spread
the four tails across the fan part of
the broom and glue in place.
From the 60" (150 cm) ribbon
piece make a florist bow or the type
of bow you desire. Attach at the bot-
tom of the broom handle covering the
top of your glued ribbon tails.
Now place your pine sprigs,
poinsettia, and gold cones on the fan
of the broom. Try arranging them in
several different ways. Choose the
look you like the best. Glue the sprigs
into place.
