This costume is very simple and cheap to make. The broom was crafted from a wooden dowel and pipe cleaners and took less than an hour to make. For the outfit, we only used clothes that we already had on hand. Then just add a little dirt on his face (which most kids don't care about) and that's it.
Attach two black pipe cleaners in an X shape to one end of the wooden dowel. Repeat placing two more in the other direction to make an X in the other direction. Simply repeat the process until you've used so many pipe cleaners that your broom looks full and mimics the effect of a chimney sweep broom.
After your broom has the desired look, glue the 2" circle of black felt on top to hide all the hot glue.
Spray paint the cue black and let dry. Add the right outfit and you're ready to start sweeping up the Halloween candy.
