Equipment

  • 1 sturdy branch (3–4 feet long) for the handle
  • A bundle of twiggy branches, broomcorn, grapevine, or corn husks for the broom base
  • Foraged flowers & grasses – sunflowers, goldenrod, hay, ornamental grasses, black-eyed Susans
  • Herbs and aromatics – sage, rosemary, lavender, thyme, or eucalyptus
  • Natural twine, raffia, or jute rope
  • Optional: cinnamon sticks, dried orange slices, pinecones, acorns, ribbon (Glue Gun: if adding any of these)
  • Optional: garden wire to hang broom on the wall

Instructions

  • Head outside with clippers and a basket. Collect a sturdy fallen branch for the handle plus twigs, grasses, herbs, and flowers for the sweeping end. Build a full bouquet with your chosen fillers and flowers, arranging them in layers for depth. Keep most of the blooms facing forward and to the sides for the best display. This will also help it to lay flat on the wall, should you choose to hang it. Bundle together twigs, hay, or broomcorn until you have a thick handful.
  • Trim the ends for a neat look.
  • Lay your bouquet on the workspace and gently part the stems to create an opening for the broom handle. Insert about 4 inches (10 cm) of the broom handle into the center of your bundle of stems, tucking it firmly inside the bouquet.
  • Wrap twine or raffia tightly around the bundle several times. Knot firmly in the back and trim the ends.
  • Add optional décor like a raffia bow, cinnamon sticks, or dried orange slices.
  • Secure a piece of gardening wire around the top of your broom handle. Twist the wire tightly so it won’t slip, then form the excess into a loop. This creates a sturdy hanger so your broom can be easily displayed on a wall or door.
  • Display next to a basket of faux pumpkins, a stack of cozy throw pillows, or even alongside Homemade Mason Jars Candles for a complete rustic fall vignette.

Notes

  • Use fresh materials: They bend easier and dry right onto the broom.
  • Mix sizes: Thick stems give structure, fine grasses add texture.
  • Allow airflow: Dry in a ventilated spot to prevent mold.
  • Swap with the season: Replace fading flowers with fresh foraged finds.
