It was the man or boy’s job to do the whittling when a woman needed a new broom.

1) Open three sheets of newspaper to their full size. Staring from a long side, roll the papers into a tube to make the broom handle.

2) Cut the bottoms from three large paper sacks. Split the bags so they lie flat. Draw a line across the bags about two inches from the top.

3) Going from the bottom edge to the line, cut the bag into narrow slits; cutting all three bags at once if you wish.

4) Wrap the bags around one end of the handle, with the strips pointing towards the other end. Tape the bags into place.

5) Turn the handle so that the strips flip down and over the end of the handle. Pull the strips together and tie them with a string or some yarn to hold them in place.
