How To Make A Broomstick?

    A broomstick is a long thin stick used as a handle of a broom. It can be of any material like plastic or wood. Plastic handles can be bought easily in the market but wood handles can be made at home.

To make a broomstick following things are to be considered. 

1. Length 

Length matters as it affects the convenience of using a broom. It should neither be too short nor belong. A short broomstick is favorable for a short person whereas a long broomstick is favorable for a tall person. So, choose according to your choice, convenience, and use. 

2. Thickness

It should be neither too thick nor too thin. It should have sufficient thickness. A thin handle makes the broom weak and a thick handle makes the broom too thick. So choose according to your hand size and thickness, which you think is strong enough. 

3. Hardiness

The broom is exposed to harsh conditions like pressure, light, water, etc from time to time. It may also get attacked by fungus and microorganisms. So, choose the stick from a plant that is strong enough and is resistant to pests and microorganisms.
