Join accomplished broomsquire Alyssa Blackwell in this video-only tutorial, where you’ll learn to create full-size long-handle brooms. Alyssa teaches how to add sections of broomcorn to the broom handle while keeping an even tension with your cording. Once the bristle has been attached and allowed to dry thoroughly, Alyssa shares techniques for using a stitching clamp to guide your stitches. You’ll also learn how to create an optional decorative woven cap using split broomcorn stalks.
