How to Make this Witches Brew and Broom Handprint Craft
- To begin, print the provided brew and broom template and then cut out both templates.
- Then trace two handprints onto green cardstock and cut them out.
- Glue both of the handprints to the back of the pot. Glue them to where the top 2/3 of the handprints stick out over the top of the cauldron.
- Allow the glue to dry, then flip the pot over. Use different colored markers to draw bubbles along the handprints to represent bubbles.
- Using a white paint pen, draw a line detail on the top and bottom of the cauldron following the slight curvature of the pot.
- Set the witches brew aside, and work on the broom! Trace the broom template onto any color of card stock you want and then cut it out.
- Trace your handprint onto the black cardstock and cut it out. Then trim the wrist part of the handprint to make it more narrow.
- Glue the black handprint to the bottom of the card stock strip and let it dry. Fold back part of the thumb and pinky so it’s even with the broom.
- Lastly, cut a small strip from scrap cardstock and wrap it around the top of the handprint, where it meets the broom. Glue it in place to secure.
- Allow glue to fully dry, and your craft is complete!
Other materials you can use to make this craft
If you don’t have a printer, you can free hand your broom sticks and pot. But, you can also use a painters stick or some popsicle sticks and paint them. Painted cardboard would work as well.
Craft foam sheets can be used as the pot for witches brew. Decorate your pot with glittery pipe cleaners, glitter blue, craft jewels, buttons, or anything else creative and fun!
Pro Tips!
- Make the broom stick more sturdy by gluing wooden popsicle sticks together and attaching them to the backside of the broom stick. You can also use a straw or any other sturdy thin object to make the broom stick stronger. This would be great to do if you plan on making this craft a toy!
- Use glitter card stock for the broom bristles or cauldron to give this craft a little extra pizzaz. You can use glitter card stock for the broom stick and the brew too.
