Learned how to make a broom from a craftswomxn. You keep the thread wrapped around a branch under ur feet like a loom n bind the branches, adding as you go. Should last a lifetime but itll be many lifetimes before i clean haha.

I tried weaving a hat (kinda hard). This is a much more modest goal. You could make great bux selling these online or as a street vendor. Mad props on your achievement!

That sounds like a hell of a project! Honestly I'm surprised what I made vaguely resembles a broom lol. I want to try some w different plants too

So theres a chunk o' lumber in the bass?
Nah this broom is all bristle / the handle is made from the same stuff. you use a piece of wood at ur feet to wrap the cord around. This keeps the cord taut while u wrap the bristles in ur lap. Its kind of hard to visualize but the motion is a lot like rowing

That is cool beans crafts...

And my mind goes to thinking it could have an elaborate broom stick... even carved with eldritch glyphs...

And a hidden Elvish Blade...

That glows in the presence of nasty goblins, trolls and Oogle Chiefs!

Yup... post up at a thing er... make $$$
