12. Vintage-Style Witch’s Broomstick
Add a touch of rustic charm to your porch or entryway with a handmade, traditional witch’s broom. Search your backyard or a local park for a sturdy, weathered branch to serve as the handle—the more twisted and knobby, the better. For the bristles, gather a large bundle of dried birch twigs, heather, or straw. Bind the twigs securely around the base of the branch using heavy twine, wire, or strips of dark leather. To give it an aged, authentic look, wrap the handle in tattered black lace or cheesecloth, and hang a few dried herbs or a small vintage key from the twine. This simple, natural craft looks as though it was plucked straight from a centuries-old cottage in the woods.
