Using the thicker parts of the broom, I cut them into various lengths to fit onto the cardboard hoop I had cut out using Spellbinders nesties. I also cut a piece of hessian. I glued all 3 layers together and started to arrange the twigs, sticking them down with the hot glue gun.
I took some of the beaded centres out of some flowers, coloured them red with a sharpie pen, glued them on along with the bows with glossy accents and finally added a ribbon loop so I could hang it.
I had great fun making this with pieces of twigs flying everywhere whilst I was cutting them up.

This looks brilliant Sam! I love the way the berries really stand out. How many entries is that to the challenge over at Arty Inklings? I've lost count!Lol! Julie Ann xx
Brilliant Sam and so inspiring. I thought I would make one and maybe add a few cinnamon sticks that look like twigs then it would be fragrant as well as beautiful
Thanks for the idea
