Broomstick ornament

One of the first ornaments I made for my Harry Potter tree was a broomstick. I purchased a larger "witches" broom at a Michael's store and cut pieces of the broom off to make the smaller brooms. I used wooden dowels and cut them to length for the broomsticks. I colored the broomsticks with a brown permanent marker. You could use sticks if you like. The broomstick material is secured to the dowel with a rubber band, then wrapped with brown raffia.
I'm having some issues with photos being too large. I will try to resize them so they fit on the page.
