So you wanna give your home that boho-chic vibe but you’re also on a budget
Sometimes we just want pretty things. I get it. Wipe your tears, fam, ‘coz I’ve got some good news.
You know pampas grass – those pretty, tall, dried reeds you see all over Pinterest as home decor?
A simple hack has been circulating on TikTok showing how to DIY them and they look legit.
TikTok user @farisaqlann_ posted a step-by-step tutorial using a broom, which you can get from any MR DIY, Eco Shop, or pasar malam.
Here’s how to make it:

You can go for a lighter or darker broom colour, or a mix of both depending on your room’s aesthetic.
Step 2 – Once you’ve unravelled the attachment, continue to snip off any threads that hold the broom together
Step 3 – Separate the strands and that’s it!
You’re left with really quick and easy-to-make ‘pampas grass’ that you can pop into a vase and display anywhere around your home.
Here’s the final result:
Depending on the type of broom you get, you can also make it look fluffier.
