If you have seen the upright broom trend on social media, you might be wondering how to recreate it at home.There is no magic to make a broom stand up straight.If placed upright, a broom's bristles will separate like the legs of a camera tripod, providing enough support for the object to stand upright.Soon, you'll be able to take a picture of your broom.
Step 1: There is a place where you can place the broom.
Search for floor space that is flat and smooth.Since the broom will be balancing on its bristles, you need to place it on a smooth surface, like a kitchen or garage floor.If you want to try the broom challenge, hardwood or tile floors may not be the best surface.
Step 2: A broom with a low center of gravity is a good choice.
Look for brooms that have a thick, flat section of bristles that protrude from the bottom, as well as a secure cover that holds the bristles in place and connects them to the broom handle.Store bought brooms will work well if you look for a broom that is low to the ground.
Step 3: The broom should be on the ground.
Put the broom on the ground by arranging it around the handle.The broom should spread out slightly to the left and right in order to provide structural support for the broom.
Step 4: If the broom shifts, try again.
If the broom doesn't shift, release the handle and check.It may take a few tries before your broom stands upright if it falls over at first.Put your broom on the ground and check to see if it's on its own.When placing the broom down, make sure it is centered.It will be more likely to fall over if it is too large.
Step 5: The broom should be moved to a more open area.
If you are working in a cramped area, you may be more comfortable experimenting in an open space.Take your broom to a large flat area, like a gym or basketball court.There is a chance that you will have more luck with a change in scenery.
Step 6: Limit the trick to a specific time of day.
It is thought that brooms can stand upright, but this is not the case.It is possible to get a broom to stand upright at any hour of the day.On the vernal equinox, your broom will stand upright, but you can also upright it on any other day of the year.
