I have been going back and fourth about this and I'm not sure. But my mom will have a nervous breakdown if I don't. I totally understand it's part of the african-american tradition,but I don't wonna ! LOL Are you doing it ?

    @Maranda : Thanks for the info, I had seen those already, they prices are crazy high for a straw broom with ribbon and flowers.

    LOL @ Shaquaya & FM Hardcastle!!!

    I would use any of the pictures above as your inspiration pictures for this project. It is soooo easy to do.

    I got my broom from http://www.countryporch.com/darice/view.asp?item=281747 Get the 32" straw broom. Cost about $10 if you include S&H.

    I wrapped the handle with double sided silk ribbon. Follow any online tutorial for wrapping a flower bouquet. Same technique. I used flowers from Michaels. I used trashbag ties to tie the stems to the straw. I added pearls to the flowers and straw (get the ones with the adhesive on the back).

    I did it and we handed out cards inside the programs that explained the meaning of that piece of the ceremony. April make sure that you want to do this and that you have the full meaning of it. Like EDubb said try to make you own and make it personal. Good luck!
