Broom!

[lillilah]

I made a broom! There are a lot of these invasive reeds nearby, so I cut down a few stalks and dried them. Then, I cut the heads off and soaked those along with the leaves. I used a technique I saw for regular brooms, where you take bundles of reeds and add them to a central bundle of reeds until you have something wide and not too thick. Then, I just wrapped some twine around it and sewed through the reeds to make it sturdy and to keep everything in place.
