Cast a spell of excitement with this enchanting "Witch-ing You a Happy Halloween" gift tag! Add a bewitching touch to your Halloween "broom" treats with this free printable!
I purchased orange "stick candy" from the gift shop at a local Cracker Barrel restaurant. (Check to make sure they aren't broken before you get to the register.)
To make the broom, I simply cut a paper lunch bag into 2.5" (height) x 4" (width) pieces. Cut evenly spaced vertical strips about 2/3 of the way up. Start at one end and roll the paper all the way around the stick candy. I used a small piece of tape to secure it. Then wrap a piece of Baker's Twine around it a few times and tie it off. Slightly spread/bend the "bristles" to make it appear more broom-like. (You can roll them around a pencil if needed to get a slight bend.) Simply attach the brooms to the gift tag with double-sided tape.
Note: I originally assumed that Cracker Barrel would have purple (grape) stick candy, so that was my original design; however when I got to the store that wasn't an option. I was going to substitute Root Beer (for a cute brown handled broom) until my son said that kids don't really like Root Beer candy. (Can this be true?!? I used to love Root Beer Barrels.) Anyway, I decided to use orange candy, but I will link up both colors to give you an option.
Note: For the broom handle, you could also use glow sticks or pixie sticks or fun straws, use your imagination! 👻
Happy Halloween!
