Cinnamon Broom: Origin and Significance
Cinnamon brooms are a popular decorative item during the Halloween season. These brooms are made from dried broomcorn and cinnamon sticks and are often used as an air freshener. The origin of cinnamon brooms is not clear, but they are believed to have originated in the United States.
Cinnamon has been used for centuries for its medicinal properties and was once considered more valuable than gold. It is believed that cinnamon was first used in ancient Egypt and was later traded along the spice routes to Europe. In the United States, cinnamon was first used by Native Americans for its medicinal properties.

Materials Needed for DIY Cinnamon Broom Wreath
To make a DIY cinnamon broom wreath with candy corn colors, one needs to gather the following materials:
- Two cinnamon brooms
- Floral wire
- Scissors
- Glue gun and glue sticks
- Rustoleum Orange spray paint
- Rustoleum Yellow spray paint
- Rustoleum white spray paint
- Assorted Halloween and fall ribbon
The cinnamon broom serves as the base for the wreath and can be found at most craft and big box stores during the fall season. Floral wire and scissors will be used to secure the cinnamon brooms to each other and to help attach the ribbon
The candy corn-colored spray paint will be used to add a pop of color and tie the wreath together. The glue gun and glue sticks will be used to attach the ribbon and any additional decorative elements to the wreath.
Size Considerations
The size of the cinnamon broom you choose will depend on the size of the wreath you want to make. If you are making a small wreath, you should choose a smaller cinnamon broom. On the other hand, if you want to make a larger wreath, you will need a larger cinnamon broom.
Here is a table that can help you choose the right size cinnamon broom for your wreath:
| Wreath Size | Cinnamon Broom Size |
|---|---|
| Small | 12-18 inches |
| Medium | 18-24 inches |
| Large | 24-36 inches |
The Cinnamon broom sizes I used for my wreath is 36″ long.
Incorporating Candy Corn Colors with Spray paint
Candy corn colors are a perfect choice for a DIY cinnamon broom wreath. These colors are bright, cheerful, and perfect for fall. Here’s how I painted the end of the broom.
Create a Gradient Effect
Start by using painters tape to tape off the different sections of the broom you want to paint. You have to tape each individually and wait until each section dries before moving on to paint the next section.
The base will be white. The next color that sits in the middle will be orange and then yellow.
Creating the Wreath Base
To start creating the DIY Cinnamon Broom wreath, the first step is to create the wreath base. Since the cinnamon brooms are essentially the wreath base, all I had to do was attach them together.
I laid the brooms at an angle over each other and used the floral wire to attach them together. Easy peasy.
Add a bow (or bows) to hide where you attached the two brooms together
A simple bow made from ribbon in colors that complement the candy corn colors of the wreath can add a festive touch. Use wire-edged ribbon to make the bow easier to shape and keep its form.
I’m not the best at ribbon making or ribbon tying so I won’t give you much of a tutorial on this. Just know that I layered two heavier ribbons on top of each other for the main long bow. Then I made a smaller bow to sit in the middle to “finish it off.”
Use Candy Corn as a Decoration
Finally, you can also incorporate actual candy corn into your wreath design. Simply glue candy corn onto your wreath for a fun and festive touch. This is a great option if you want to add a little bit of whimsy to your wreath.
