A Kitchen Staple, Made By You
The humble broom lives in every home but is the workhorse of the house. There's no reason why it shouldn't be beautiful as well. Join Cynthia Main, founder of Sunhouse Craft, as she walks you through how to make incredible, but deceptively simple, brooms, sweeps, and hand brushes. Easy enough to do at the kitchen table, and quick enough to make as gifts, you will learn the tools, techniques and materials necessary to supply your kitchen.
With beautiful step-by-step photography, and clear, insightful instructions, you'll have everything you need to pick up a handful of broom corn and make these incredible objects for you and yours.
