Rumours tell of people adopting it to brush their back, by making the handle longer ...
How to make a nice dust broom ?
Choose the stick of the dust broom. If it's curved, the dust broom will clean corners more easily.
With a knife, flatten the 2 sides of one end.
Carve a notch near the end (optional, it fixes the bundle near the end).
Take a bundle of pine needles, and put an elastic bracelet around it.
Put the handle in the middle of it.
Fix the bundle of pine needles with the elastic bracelet. It will keep the pine needles in place even if they shrink when drying. If the pine needles are dry, you can use a natural cordage.If the elasctic is short, put a second one so that the cross is on the other face.
Add other bundles of needles. Here it is !
Advantages
- Simple and efficient.
- Local and biosourced, except elastic bracelets.
Limits
- A plastic dustpan does not at all suit the dust broom.
- The elastic bracelets are store-bought.
