Wicked Cool Broom

Yes, I couldn’t resist to combine the name of the stamp set with the project.

So today I am going to share with you the ultra cute make-and-take project that the ladies got to make yesterday during the Stampin’ Trick or Treat/Silent Auction.

Here it is:

To make this cool broom, we used the skinny cello bags from the holiday mini catalog and filled with treats, which makes the broom stick.

Then the broom part, we used mini lunch bags from the craft store. I cut off the bottom completely and some from the top too, so it only measures about 3 inches tall now.

We simply cut slits up towards the middle from one side and also slits from the other side, but we didn’t go up as far. Then we added a strip of sticky tape in the uncut area and rolled it around our broom stick. Then we used a piece of ribbon and tied it around.

And we finished if off with a tag, that we stamped with the greeting and witches hat…

Happy Halloween!!! I am almost a little sad that it’s over now. Oh well, until next year…

I have to apologize if some of the pictures are blurry. It is VERY difficult to take good photos with a face mask on!

The ink spots (Lorraine, Nancy and Joy) even serenated me! Way cool!
