Harry Potter Party Favors:  Throwing the Harry Potter party for my daughter.  I was looking for some fun ideas for favors.  This is was not my idea the credit goes to but Jennifer at Ivillage  I really thought it was fun so every kid had a broom when they left and it is an affordable party favor.   I found that I needed a little more instructions on how to actually make the brooms so I documented me making them so you will have a better understanding also I change her idea slightly and added a nimbus 3000 look to the brooms.

What do you need to make a  easy Pop Corn Broom:

DIY Harry Potter Favors  Pop Corn Brooms

• 1 bag of paper lunch bags
• clear sandwich bags the ones without ziplocks if possible (so they are more pliable
• 1 bag of pretzel rods
• tape
• black washi tape or electrical tape
• 1/8 “Gold ribbon 2rolls
• 2 stock pots of popcorn, NOT buttered

Make popcorn, do not butter, allow to cool and fill plastic bags = if hot or buttered will get nasty in bags

Take both paper bag and cut 2″” off top

Take on one the bags (inner one)  and slice 2″ down from the top in the

Take the other bag (outer bag) pull out the bottom   so it forms a triangle shape (as shown below)

Then cut the outer bag slice to 1/2″ of the bottom seam as shown

Place inner bag inside outerbag

Fill paperbag with the popcorn or your choice of treat

Add the pretzel rod as a broom handle

Turn upside down and gather the broom head up   Tape the broom

Add the black Washi or electrical tape over the clear tape

Glue the gold detail .. and adjust the broom handle and you are done.

I then placed them in a vintage suitcase.

This project cost under $10 for 15 bags.. the hardest part was making sure I had 15 unbroken pretzel rods
