Wicked Witch of the West's Broom
Not having access to a 6 foot lathe, I had to get creative. I found a bun foot at Rockler that is very close to the turning on the witch's broom. I had to cut the top part off and drill out the center, but it worked.
The rest of the broom is a wooden closet rod (shaped with a spokeshave), leather, aluminum flashing, and grass from Pottery Barn.
ETA: I'm not happy with the handle and it needs more "pouf" under the leather bands. They are on my list to fxi someday. I know the grass is too long, but it breaks off and sheds like you wouldn't believe. I figure some day it will be the right length on its own.
I also posted a pic of the hat in the Costuming forum.

Not too shabby at all :thumbsup
I have seen some old flat-shovel handles that have that bulb-end that may work.

I thought of that, but the shovel handles aren't long enough. But I did take a piece of brown paper, laid it out on the floor of Home Depot, and traced a shovel handle. I just haven't used the pattern to modify the handle yet.

IF I ever get around to making mine, I plan to sculpt the whole thing from a 4"x4"x8' ..using a reciprocating saw, files and sandpaper.
It's crude, but, I've used that method to make a totokia war club and I was very happy with the results. ..not very safe..but, got the job done.

It's been a while , but when I saw this thread a while ago, I thought it would be neat to make a broom myself. I thought it would make a unique gift for my Mom for mother's day , since she loves the Wizard of OZ, and I already gave her a pair of ruby slippers a few years back.
This is what I managed to do
I noticed while going through the DVD for screen caps, there must have been several different brooms used as the webbing changes size. The burnt broom has a much wider webbed portion, similar to what I replicated, but the pictures from the Munchkin village, the webbing is shorter. Even in the scene where she lights it on fire, the bristles look more like coarse straw, while in others, it drops like grass.
I kinda made my broom a mish mosh of the various incarnations.

The variations drive you crazy, don't they? Your version looks very nice.
To keep my grass version from being so floppy, I went to a craft store and found small, thin branches. I inserted about five of those into the end of the dowel rod and cut them so they were about seven inches long. They help keep the grass from flopping over so close to the wrapping.

Reviews for "Chasing Dreams: The Inspirations Behind Williw 20223"
1. Emily - 1/5 stars - I was really excited to watch "Williw Behind the Magic 20223" as I had heard great things about previous installments. However, I was extremely disappointed. The plot was confusing and poorly developed, leaving me feeling disconnected from the characters. The acting was also subpar, with awkward and forced performances. Overall, it felt like a cheap attempt to cash in on the success of the previous films, and I would not recommend it to anyone.
2. Josh - 2/5 stars - "Williw Behind the Magic 20223" lacked the charm and magic of its predecessors. The story was lackluster and predictable, making it difficult to stay engaged. The special effects, which I was looking forward to, were also underwhelming. Additionally, the new characters introduced in this film felt flat and underdeveloped. Overall, it was a disappointing addition to the franchise, and I hope future installments can recapture the magic.
3. Sarah - 2/5 stars - I was a big fan of the previous "Williw" movies, but "Williw Behind the Magic 20223" fell short of my expectations. The plot felt disjointed and rushed, with many loose ends left unresolved. The humor, which was a highlight of the previous films, was lacking in this installment. The chemistry between the characters also felt forced, and the dialogue was often cheesy and uninspiring. I was left feeling unsatisfied and longing for the magic of the earlier movies.
