Broom corn decorations

In this week's tutorial, I'll show you how to make gnomes from broomcorn. These are super cute, fairly easy to make, and last forever.

I do have a horribly soft spot for the Halloween holiday.

We harvested the broom corn months ago and only recently is it dry enough to work with. This post is the first in a series of posts as I...

Here is another use for the Broom Corn that my mom and dad grew this summer! I've been wanting to make up some wreaths and today was the day! My kitchen is a mess but I sure had fun! I love how they turned out and have listed one in my Etsy Shop! My aunt had given me some of these awesome wax sheep and he sits in there so nicely! Next I'm going to make some new primitive ornaments for my Christmas tree! Have a candy cane design in my head that needs to come out! LOL Have a great day!

Did you know that a lot of brooms are made from a special crop called Broomcorn? It is a variety of Sorghum that looks a lot like corn when it grows. Instead of corn, it has these fibrous tassels…

A 17 inch Primitive Broom Corn Wreath, that I have on sale today. You will receive this exact item. I made this 'inside' wreath, with dried Broom Corn. It is approx. 17 inches wide x 5-1/2 inches deep. Note: Broom Corn Wreaths may shed a little. This wreath would make a great gift, for a special 'country loving' friend or keep it for yourself, to hang in your own prim country home or office. We grow and preserve all of our own flowers here at The Flower Patch, in Northcentral Wisconsin…

It's no secret that I'm a big fan of candy corn. In fact, it's safe to say that it's in

Used broom corn instead of corn stalks. Wrapped a large ribbon, tied a bow - - Happy Fall!
