When you see something in a store and you think you know I can make it. Besides, wouldn't it be more fun if I did? For example the magic brooms that dance in the shop at this time of year. You can buy one, but there's nothing more satisfying than crushing Roomba's robot vacuum to be the magic broom in your Halloween decorating masterpiece.
But how do we do it? Pocatello, Idaho realtor Jessica DeFosses recently got 6.8 million views on Instagram with her witch's broom showing off her trusty robot lair. Here is the latest product from the Desfossés family called Wanda! How cool is that?
Tip: When you watch DesFosses DIY, notice how she cut and sewed a dollar store straw skirt - the key to creating a beautiful storybook broom look.
In real time, the project took about an hour and a half - which is certainly not a lot of time for die-hard Desfosses Halloween fans. In an IG message, she told us: "My family and I love Halloween and Halloween decor. My kids love my decorations," adding: "My husband and I put together our four-legged skeleton . Post it."
But you won't disturb my furniture?
Although thousands of "Oh my God, I'm possessed!!" and "My cat is going crazy!" , some Instagrammers asked, "What about the coffee table?" said one
“It's a velcro strap that you put on and take off. The brush is designed to innovate throughout the home. If you really want to get out, get it,” explains DeFosses.
If you've run out of Roomba — or have other ideas about using that precious robot vacuum you won on Prime Day — another commenter reviewed the $20 DIY versions of the five tools below. We've tested and it still outperforms a store-bought magic broom for $70 or less.
Perhaps the real question is, does this spontaneous member of your family deserve their own Halloween costume?

The DesFosses role moves very quickly, so we have notes from several roles:
Find a stick large enough to handle a broom and measure its diameter.
Drill a hole in the bottom of a long, hard plastic cup about the diameter of a rod.
Place the cup upside down in the center of an 8" flat plastic container (the kind you use to protect the surface of the potted plant) and attach it with gorilla glue (in the video the cup is measured by books. The glue dry) .
Place the stick in the hole and secure it with tape and glue.
Use the string to tie the straw skirt around the stick to close the cup.
Use command strips or Velcro to temporarily attach the base of the dish to the robot.
Cut and shape straws (read video) and decorate with star ribbon.
